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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Spread a generous spoonful of the crab mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 6

Sprinkle a small amount of grated parmesan cheese on top of each slice.

Step 7

Place the topped baguette slices back onto the baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the topping is hot and bubbly.

Step 8

Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
