Ingredients

• 8 ounces cooked lump crabmeat
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon old bay seasoning
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
• 1 loaf baguette, sliced into rounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush the baguette slices lightly with olive oil on both sides.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 6

Gently fold in the lump crabmeat and green onions, ensuring the crabmeat remains in small chunks.

Using a spoon or small spatula, spread a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each baguette round.

Step 8

Garnish the canapés with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a dash of paprika, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.
