Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 0.5 pound (225 grams) shrimp
Cheeses:
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Base and Supporting Ingredients:
- 6 slices French baguette
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 green onions
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to precisely 400°F (200°C). Cover a standard baking sheet with parchment paper for seamless release and consistent heating.
- Combine 225 g (½ lb) finely chopped shrimp with 60 ml (¼ cup) mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Ensure the shrimp pieces are uniform and small.
- Add 115 g (4 oz) softened cream cheese, 120 ml (½ cup) mozzarella, and 30 g (¼ cup) Parmesan to the shrimp mixture. Blend until thoroughly incorporated.
- Fold in 2 finely sliced green onions, 1 minced garlic clove, 2.5 ml (½ tsp) sesame oil, 1.25 ml (¼ tsp) salt, 1.25 ml (¼ tsp) black pepper, and optional chili flakes.
- Slice French baguette into 1.25 cm (½-inch) thick pieces. Brush each slice with 15 ml (1 Tbsp) melted butter on one side.
- Spread exactly 1 tablespoon of shrimp mixture onto buttered bread surface. Press gently to create an even layer reaching all edges.
- Arrange prepared toasts on parchment-lined sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese bubbles and surface turns golden brown.
Notes
- Choose day-old white bread for the best texture and crispness when baking.
- Pat shrimp completely dry before mixing with cream cheese to prevent soggy toast.
- Grate fresh Parmesan cheese for a more intense flavor than pre-shredded varieties.
- For a gluten-free version, swap white bread with gluten-free bread or cauliflower toast bases.
