CRAB CANAPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

When cool, gently fold in crab, red pepper, and chives.
• Using a 1 1/4-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from each slice of bread. Mound 1 level teaspoon crab mixture onto each bread round. Place canapes on a baking sheet, and bake until bread is crisp on the bottom and crab is hot, about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional chives, and serve warm.
