Ingredients

• 2 4.25 oz. cans crabmeat (or 1 8-oz. package lump crabmeat)
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 4-5 drops hot pepper sauce


• long and narrow Italian, French or sourdough bread, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 16 slices)

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil. Remove any unwanted pieces from crabmeat (most canned crabmeat doesn't require this step). In a medium mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, red bell pepper, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, lime juice, Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese and hot pepper sauce. Gently mix to combine.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture onto each slice of bread. Place the crostini on the broiler pan and broil about 4 inches from the heat for 5-6 minutes or until lightly browned.
