1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup cooked crabmeat or imitation crab, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
hot pepper sauce to taste
4 thick slices Italian bread
1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Beat the cream cheese in a medium bowl until fluffy. Mix in crab, garlic, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Spread onto bread slices and top with Swiss cheese. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese has melted and browned slightly. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
