CHOCOLATE SEA SALT CROSTINI
For this to work as a savory bite, the chocolate must be very dark, bittersweet, and world-class. Look for names that are hard to pronounce. Labels with percentage symbols are always a good sign (the higher the percent, the better).

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh lump crab meat. You can find it in the seafood section of most grocery stores.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme or oregano instead.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab salad. It should be cooked just until the crab is opaque and tender.
- If you're using a baguette, cut it into 1-inch slices on a diagonal.
- To make the crostini, brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Once the crostini are toasted, top them with the crab salad and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Conclusion:
This crostini with lump crab salad and extra virgin olive oil is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The crab salad is creamy and flavorful, and the crostini are crispy and golden brown. This dish is sure to be a hit with your guests!
