Brown Butter Crab Toast


  • Author: Justin Matase

Description

Easier and more delicious than eating crab legs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can colossal crab, available at Wholey’s
  • 1 stick of salted butter
  • 1 French baguette
  • Parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place stick of butter into the saucepan at medium heat. As the butter begins to melt, keep close watch.
  2. Begin to stir the butter to agitate the movement in the pan. You want the lipids to begin to brown, but not burn. So you’re walking a fine line.
  3. As soon as you start to smell the nutty toastiness of the butter and it begins to turn brown, reduce heat to low for 1 minute and then turn off.
  4. Cut the baguette on an angle to make a larger piece and place in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees to crisp the outside and warm without making a crostini.
  5. Rinse crab under cold water and dry on a paper towel.
  6. Place crab on a plate and on the baguette and pour brown butter atop. Enjoy immediately.
