Crab Melt
By Foodiewife
I served this Crab Melt recipe, tapas style-- cut into bite-size pieces. I didn't measure, but I'll do my best to give you measurements. My best advice is to season and taste as you go along!
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 cups fresh cracked crab
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced thin
- 1 fresh baguette
- Good quality olive oil, to brush on the bread

Preparation
Step 1
Add the mayonnaise, Old Bay Seasoning, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Mix in the crab carefully, to keep the crab pieces.
Taste. If needed add a little kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Add this slowly, and taste, taste, taste!
Slice the baguette in half and brush with olive oil.
Broil for about 1 minute, until lightly golden.
Remove from the broiler and rub a fresh clove on garlic on it-- lightly! Don't overdo it.
Add a mound of crab salad on each slice of bread, add 3-4 avocado slices and top with cheese.
Return to the broiler for about 1 minute, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Enjoy!
