Crab Melts

 Ingredients:

• ½ cup white crab meat
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped red pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
• 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream low fat is fine
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices of Monterey Jack cheese or Swiss cheese or use Pepper Jack if you like a bit of spice
• a four or five inch slice of baguette or 2 or 3 pieces of sliced bread long French bread, or ciabatta bread, cut carefully in half lengthwise, or use ordinary sliced bread but toast it first

Instructions

• Put the French bread or ciabatta bread halves in the oven on a baking sheet at about 350°F (175°C) or under the broiler or grill for five minutes or until they are beginning to take on a bit of color.
• Meanwhile, mix the crab meat with the mustard, red pepper, and celery.
• Add crème fraîche or sour cream as well as salt and pepper to taste. Mix together gently.
• Divide the crab mixture between the pieces of bread and top with the cheese slices.
• Return the crab and cheese topped bread to the oven for five to ten minutes, or place under the broiler or grill, until the cheese is bubbling and brown.
• The cheese gets very hot, so allow these to cool a bit before serving one half of the panini or ciabatta to each person, or cutting into small pieces to serve as hors d’oeuvres.

The Best Nachos

The Best Nachos

I started out with tostado chips. 

(Walmart has the best chips for $2.00!)

Place in bottom of pan.

Then basically you layer whatever you want.

I had some leftover taco meat so that was my next layer!

On top of that I put a layer of shredded cheese!

Then I used drained &rinsed

black beans and yellow corn.

I added a few spices such as chili powder and

coriander, cumin, salt and pepper.

Then, I added baby tomatoes, cilantro, black olives and more cheese. 

Really you can add anything that you like.

Preheat oven 350.

Bake 7-10 minutes

Serve with avocado, salsa and sour cream!

Serve hot!

Absolutely delicious!

Enjoy!
