Crabmeat Crostini with Chives and Creme Fraiche Preparation

Oven Temp: 350F / 180C / Gas mark 4

Shred crabmeat. Add celery, green onions, chives, and lemon peel; toss. Add next 5 ingredients. Season with salt. Cover; chill at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead; keep chilled.)

Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange baguette slices in single layer on rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides of bread with oil. Bake until lightly browned, turning once, about 16 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Store crostini in resealable plastic bags at room temperature.)

Preheat broiler. Arrange toasts on baking sheet. Spread 1 heaping tablespoon crabmeat mixture onto each; sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve warm.
