Hot Crab Cheese Hero


I found the idea for this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine several years ago, and seriously adapted it over the years... It is a favorite of ours...

8 oz. crab meat (or imitation- I'm not picky) coarsely chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 loaf French bread (we make whole wheat)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
garlic salt
1/2 lb. Swiss cheese, sliced

Mix first six ingredients. Slice french bread into 1/2 inch slices. Butter bread and sprinkle sparingly with garlic salt. Place slices on a baking sheet and spread crab mixture over the bread slices.  Cover crab mixture with swiss cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly and edges of bread start to darken (less than 5 minutes). Enjoy as an appetizer or a lighter main dish.
