Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 loaf ficelle or thin French baguette
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
1 Meyer lemon, juiced
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 yellow pepper, seeds removed and diced
1 avocado, halved, pitted and flesh diced
1 shallot, finely diced
8 ounces lump crabmeat

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices. Lightly brush the bread slices with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet fitted with a rack and bake until lightly toasted, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool before topping with the crab mixture.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the lemon juice, 1/4 cup of olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
