Cheesy Crab & Spinach Crostini

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: Depends on how big your toast is ...

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cheesy Crab Topping:

  • 1 cup frozen, chopped spinach, thawed
  • 1 6-oz. can lump crab meat (or equivalent fresh)
  • 2 green onions, tops only, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon snipped chives
  • 12 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped fine
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons sundried tomato, chopped fine
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup shredded Asiago cheese

For the toasts:

  • French baguette slices (or other bread, as you like)
  • Small slices of good cheese (I used Gouda, but Asiago, Cheddar, Swiss or Fontina are great too–you can skip the extra cheese if you like.)
  • Extra snipped chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Thaw the spinach in a small bowl, then towel off the excess moisture with a clean towel, pressing down on the spinach. In a small mixing bowl, mix together the spinach with the rest of the topping ingredients. Add salt & fresh ground pepper to taste.
  2. Spread about a Tablespoon or so of the crab mixture on each slice of bread. Set it on a baking sheet and repeat until you run out of crab mixture or bread or room on the baking sheet. Top with slices of cheese, if you like.
  3. Bake at 350 F for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the topping is very lightly browned.
  4. Enjoy hot out of the oven!
