Crab, Chile & Mint Crostini

The Holidays are right around the corner and this time of year is prime time entertainment season.  With cocktail parties, Holiday parties and people just popping by, a couple of go to crostinis are a must to have in the arsenal.  This one is fantastic and couldn't be easier to put together.

12 slices sourdough bread
2 Tbsp. olive oil
8oz. jumbo lump crabmeat
3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. finely chopped mint
1 stemmed, seeded jalapeño, minced
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

Garnish- chiffonade (very thinly sliced) fresh mint leaves

Drizzle bread with oil and toast over hot grill.  cut each slice into quarters and reserve.

In a bowl gentle combine crabmeat, mayo, lime juice, mint, and jalapeño.  Be careful not to break up the crabmeat too much.  Season with salt and pepper.  Spoon about 1 Tbsp. of crab mixture onto each toast and garnish with chiffonade of mint.  Serve and Enjoy!
