These crostini were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did, because it was really good! The crabmeat was mild and delicate, and the chives and crème fraîche added a lot of flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my crostini turned out too dry. I think I should have added more crème fraîche.

These crostini were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think I would have preferred them with less crème fraîche.
