1. Turn on broiler in over. Slice a baguette into 18 thin, appetizer size. Place bread on a baking sheet and lightly toast on both sides. Rub both sides of the warm toast with a clove of garlic that has been cut in half.
2. Mix the crab, cream cheese, salt, pepper, sriracha and Chinese mustard in a bowl and stir in the sliced scallions. (Note, if you like a smoother topping, you can mix this in a food processor but I like the chunks of crabmeat).
3. Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture on each toast. Top with Parmesan cheese. Broil for a couple of minutes until cheese is browned. (Watch carefully as it can burn quickly)
4. Plate and top with chopped chives.
