Description
Delicious artichoke crab toasts topped with creamy cheese and fresh herbs, perfect for a party appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10-ounce) whole-wheat baguette (cut into 24 (1/4-inch-thick) slices)
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped, divided)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 ounces gruyere cheese (shredded, about 1/2 cup)
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese (finely grated, about 1/4 cup)
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts (drained, patted dry, and roughly chopped)
- 1 (4-ounce) can lump crab meat (drained)
Instructions
- Place the oven rack in the upper third of the oven. Turn on the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the baguette into 1/4-inch slices (you should have about 24 total). Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
- Stir in the gruyere and Parmesan, then gently fold in the artichokes and crab. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the artichoke-crab mixture onto each baguette slice.
- Broil until the cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes. Watch very carefully the entire time so that the toasts do not burn.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon fresh parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- 1 small lemon will be plenty for both the zest and juice.
- Fontina or gouda can be used as substitutes for gruyere cheese.
- For a more flavorful toast, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top before broiling.
