- 115 g (1/2 cup) lump crab meat
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
- 40 g (1 1/2 cups) fresh baby spinach
- 2 g (1/4 tsp) flaked sea salt, plus more to taste

3. Lightly brush or drizzle both sides of each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with flaked sea salt
4. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until golden and crisp, then flip halfway through for even toasting
