Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon garlic salt
12 slices French baguettes (3/4 inch)
1 cup lump crabmeat, picked over
1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the shallot and garlic; saute, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
Pour in cream and reduce by half, about 10 minutes or so, stirring very frequently.
Take saucepan off of burner; add in cream cheese and stir until cheese is blended.
In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic salt; stir until blended.
Spread garlic butter on baguette slices and top with 1 tablespoon of cooled cream cheese mixture.
Top each baguette slice with 2 tablespoons of crabmeat and sprinkle with tomato and parsley.
Add a shake or two of salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Place baguettes on a baking sheet and bake 7-10 minutes at 400 degrees, or until cream cheese is bubbly and bread is crispy.
Watch the bottom of the bread carefully so it doesn't burn.
Serve hot.
