Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Fresh crab meat (lump or claw)
- 115 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 1 loaf Baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped chives, ensuring the mixture is evenly incorporated without breaking up the crab meat too much.
Slice the baguette into approximately 24 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of each baguette slice with olive oil to help it crisp up during baking.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture onto each baguette slice, spreading it slightly so it covers the top evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the crab topping is bubbly and lightly golden, and the baguette slices are toasted.
Remove the crabbetizers from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired. Enjoy your delicious, crowd-pleasing crabbetizers!
