Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz lump crab meat, carefully picked over
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake 8–10 minutes, flipping once, until lightly golden and crisp.
- Melt butter and stir in garlic. Let sit 1 minute to infuse. Gently combine crab, garlic butter, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
