CRAB TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees (220 degrees C).
• Heat a medium saucepan and add the Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herb Cheese (1 package), Cream Cheese (8 ounce), Tabasco® Original Red Pepper Sauce (1/4 teaspoon), Worcestershire Sauce (1/4 teaspoon), and Old Bay® Seasoning (1 dash).
• On low heat whisk until the sauce is thick and clump free.
• Take the sauce off the heat and fold in the jumbo Lump Crab Meat (1 pound) making sure not to break up the chunks of crab.
• Top each slice of Baguette (1) with the crab mixture and some Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1/2 cup). Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
• Top with Italian Flat-Leaf Parsley (2 tablespoon) and Tomato (1/2). You can even make a meal out of the crab toast and serve with a side of mixed greens.

CRAB "TOASTIES"

Steps:

• Slice the tomatoes about 1/4-inch thick and arrange in one layer on paper towels to get rid of some of the moisture (you can remove the seeds if you're feeling really motivated). Cover with another layer of paper towels, pressing gently, and let them sit while you assemble the rest of the ingredients for the toasties.
• In a medium bowl, put the crabmeat, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Ever so gently, using your fingers, toss the ingredients together until just combined (you still want a few lumps of crabmeat when you're finished).
• Turn on the broiler and position a rack about five inches below the heating element. Assemble the toasties on a baking sheet: on each toasted English muffin half put one slice of tomato, followed by about a 1/3 cup of crabmeat. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Broil the toasties for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese turns golden, watching carefully to make sure the edges of the muffins don't burn. Serve immediately.

CRAB TOAST

Steps:

• In a small sauce pot, brown the butter over medium heat, swirling the pot, until the butter is caramel-colored and has a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, scraping up all the milk solids from the bottom and sides of the pot while the butter is still hot, and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the egg and egg yolk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, a healthy pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water in the bowl of a food processor. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. Once all the oil has been added, the mayonnaise should be loose yet emulsified. While the processor is still running, slowly drizzle in the brown butter and any toasted milk solids. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
• For the crab salad, gently and quickly mix crab meat, olive oil, chives, crème fraîche and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice together in a bowl. Season to taste with salt.
• Schmear each piece of toasted bread with the brown butter mayonnaise evenly - as we like to say, "wall to wall." Divide the crab mixture among the slices, piling it evenly on top.
