Ingredients

• 1 whole Baguette
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 8 ounces Lump crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 cups Microgreens (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create oval-shaped crostini.

Step 3

Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and cool.

Step 5

While the crostini are baking, mince the garlic and add it to a medium-sized bowl.

Step 6

Add the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl.

Step 7

Gently fold the ingredients together using a spoon, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Spoon a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 10

Optional: Top each crostini with a sprinkle of microgreens for added color and texture.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
