Mini Crab BLT Sandwiches With Roasted Tomatoes & Avocado
- 1 baguette, thin sliced
- 1 large avocado, sliced in small wedges and then in 2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 6 large plum tomatoes, sliced
- bibb lettuce (Boston or any soft tender leaf lettuce)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- 1 12 cups crabmeat (claw and lump)
- 1 red pepper, fine chopped
- 3 scallions, fine chopped
- 12 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, fine chopped
- salt
- pepper
- Bacon -- In a small non stick saute pan, cook the bacon until crisp.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate and let cool.
- Just add to a plastic bag.
- Make this ahead of time.
- Tomatoes -- On a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, add the tomato slices.
- About 4 slices per tomato and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Bake at 400 degrees on the middle shelf for 5-10 minutes just until slightly roasted.
- You don't want them to get too soft.
- BLT Spread -- Make sure you check the crab for any shells and then break up in a small bowl.
- I use both the claw and lump, but you can easily use claw to same some money, just as good.
- Add to the crab, the scallions, red pepper, mayo, tarragon, salt, pepper and bacon.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set in the refrigerate to chill and firm up.
- Baguettes -- On each baguette, add a small lettuce leaf, then a roasted tomato slice, the BLT dip and then a avocado slice.
- Top with the other slice of the baguette and cut on a angel.
- I secure each half with a tooth pick so they stay together well.
- Serve -- I set these up on a bed a lettuce almost like little "mini" Club Sandwiches.
- I love them and they always go over very well.
- Never any left.
