directions

1. Boil corn in salted water for 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and cool. Using a sharp knife, remove corn kernels from the cob.

3. Cut each slice of bread into 4 triangles. Place on foil lined baking sheet and broil each side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Top each toast triangle with crab mixture and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Broil until cheese melts. Garnish with remaining chives before serving.
4. Tip: Add a dash of Louisiana style hot sauce to the crab mixture for a spicy kick.
