I haven't prepared these yet but it was a recipe that caught my eye. These can be served as a main course with a nice green salad -- or would be prefect for an appetizer buffet.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package crabmeat or 1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 cup green onion, sliced
6 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
20 slices sourdough bread or 20 slices French baguettes

Steps:

Heat broiler. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT bread in a medium bowl.
Place bread slices on a large baking sheet. Broil 5 to 6 inches from h eat until toasted (1 to 2 minutes).
Turn bread slices over; spread each with about 1 tablespoon of the crabmeat mixture.
Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is bubbly (2 to 3 minutes). Serve immediately.
Note: Some people find Swiss cheese a little strong. I'm sure Monterey Jack would work in this recipe -- and most likely Mozzarella.
