Crostini with Crab, Chile, and Mint

(12) 1/2" slices of good French bread
Olive oil
8 oz. jumbo lump crab meat
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, cut in half
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint (slice some and reserve for garnish)
1 stemmed, seeded and minced red jalapeno
kosher salt and blk. pepper, to taste

In a mixing bowl gently combine crab, mayonnaise, lime juice, mint, and jalapeno.  Season with salt and pepper.  Brush each slice of bread with some olive oil and grill until golden brown.  As you remove each slice rub with garlic and set aside.
Spoon some of the crab mixture onto each slice of grilled bread and top with thinly sliced fresh mint for garnish.  Serve and enjoy!
