Preparation of the Crab Meat

1. Begin by mixing the crabmeat in a bowl with mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, and your choice of fresh herbs such as dill or parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat into too small pieces.

Toasting the Baguette Rounds

2. Slice a baguette into thin rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Toast these rounds in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) or in a toaster until they are golden brown and crispy. Allow them to cool slightly before assembling.

Assembling the Crab Toast

3. Once the baguette slices have cooled, spoon the crab mixture generously onto each round. If desired, garnish with a little more fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for color and added flavor.
