1 to 2 cups fresh cracked crab
1 ripe avocado, sliced thin
1 fresh baguette
Good quality olive oil, to brush on the bread
1 clove fresh garlic, for the bread.
2 to 4 sliced provolone cheese (or your choice)
1 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh chives (or scallions)
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh chopped tarragon
Kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons Hellmans/Best Foods Mayonnaise

Steps:

Add the mayonnaise, Old Bay Seasoning, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Mix in the crab carefully, to keep the crab pieces. Taste. If needed add a little kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Add this slowly, and taste, taste, taste! Slice the baguette in half and brush with olive oil. Broil for about 1 minute, until lightly golden. Remove from the broiler and rub a fresh clove on garlic on it-- lightly! Don't overdo it. Add a mound of crab salad on each slice of bread, add 3-4 avocado slices and top with cheese. Return to the broiler for about 1 minute, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!
