ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package crabmeat or (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat, coarsely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, sliced
- 6 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 20 slices sourdough bread or 20 slices French baguettes
directions
- Heat broiler. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT bread in a medium bowl.
- Place bread slices on a large baking sheet. Broil 5 to 6 inches from h eat until toasted (1 to 2 minutes).
- Turn bread slices over; spread each with about 1 tablespoon of the crabmeat mixture.
- Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is bubbly (2 to 3 minutes). Serve immediately.
- Note: Some people find Swiss cheese a little strong. I'm sure Monterey Jack would work in this recipe -- and most likely Mozzarella.

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska.
I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here!
