Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, shredded mozzarella, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Spread a generous amount of the crab mixture on each bread slice, ensuring even coverage.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for a golden brown topping, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the crab cheese bread from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.
