Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams crabmeat
- 115 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 stalk green onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 loaf baguette
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and brush each side with olive oil. Toast in the oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly golden, then set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Fold in the crabmeat, finely chopped green onion, parsley, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to keep the crabmeat intact.
Spread a generous spoonful of the crab mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Sprinkle a small amount of grated parmesan cheese on top of each slice.
Place the topped baguette slices back onto the baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the topping is hot and bubbly.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
