Directions

1 Heat oven to 400°. Place bread slices on large ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops lightly with oil. Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until crisp and very light brown.
2 Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients except chives in medium bowl. Spread 1 rounded table-spoonful crabmeat mixture on each bread slice.
3 Bake about 5 minutes or until filling is hot and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with chives.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If an imported cheese shop is available to you, try a different firm and flavorful cheese such as manchego or Asiago in place of the Swiss cheese.

Baguettes vary in width. If your baguette is very narrow, you may need 30 slices to hold all of the filling.

The bread can be baked ahead, covered and stored at room temperature. Prepare the crab mixture the day before; cover and refrigerate. Assemble the appetizers just before baking them.

It is one of my others favorite for football games. I use extra crab for more flavor.

We did not care for this. I don't know how to describe it but it was just not good. We used good real lump crabmeat. It has no flavor.

Took this to a Christmas Party as an appetizer to share tonight. Everyone LOVED them. Toasting the bread w/olive oil and the combination of the melted cheese spread was wonderful!
