Toast the bread on one side under a hot broiler and cut each slice into quarters.
6 slices white bread
Mound the crab mixture on the untoasted side of the pieces of bread.
These may be prepared in advance to this point and refrigerated.
Immediately before serving, heat under a preheated broiler until hot and lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Notes
Notes:
Ideally the crab should be fresh but if unavailable then canned, or frozen crab meat can be used. Make sure you pick through it to ensure no shell remains.
Heavy cream is the best option but if you prefer, half and half or milk can be used.
