Method
 

How to Make Garlic Butter Crab Toasts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is perfect for toasting the bread to a delightful crisp without burning.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt fully and start bubbling; this will enhance the flavor of your garlic.
  3. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Stir it around for about 1-2 minutes, watching for it to turn golden but not burnt.
  4. Stir in the crab meat, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently fold these ingredients into the garlic butter mixture, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
  5. Spread the crab mixture generously on the baguette slices, making sure to cover each slice evenly.
  6. Arrange the toasts on a baking sheet closely but not overlapping so they can toast evenly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!
