Crab Toast Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, pickled chili peppers, fresh tarragon leaves, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined. Set aside.

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the milk bread slices and toast until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Toast

    Top each slice of toasted milk bread with the prepared crab mixture. Garnish with additional tarragon or pickled chili if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the toast is warm.
