8 oz. lump crabmeat
1/2 c. diced red bell pepper
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
4 to 5 drops hot pepper sauce
Italian bread, cut into 16 slices

Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil. Pick over the crabmeat to remove the cartilage. In a medium bowl, combine crabmeat, bell pepper, mayo, parsley, chives, lime juice, mustard and Parmesan cheese. Add hot sauce and blend well. Spread 1 tablespoon of the crabmeat mixture on each slice of bread. Place the crostini on the broiler pan and broil 4-inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned.
