Crab Cocktail

Grilled Bread

Method

Crab Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together to ensure the crab meat remains intact. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Grilled Bread Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Slice the baguette or crusty bread into 1-inch thick slices. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the minced garlic. Brush the garlic oil mixture onto one side of each bread slice.

  2. 3

    Grill the Bread

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices oil-side down on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Flip the slices and grill for another 1-2 minutes to toast the other side. Remove from the grill.
