A delightful and easy-to-make appetizer featuring a creamy crab and cheese topping on crispy bread slices.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Ensure the broiler rack is positioned to allow even browning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic powder until well mixed.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat into too small pieces.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet.
Use a single layer to ensure even toasting.
Spread a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each baguette slice.
Distribute the topping evenly for consistent flavor.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook until the topping is bubbly and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove from the broiler and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
