BROILED CRAB MELTAWAYS
Steps:
- Slice English muffins in half, then cut each half into fourths, and arrange on two cookie sheets. Mix remaining ingredients well on medium speed of mixer. Spread the mixture on the English muffin quarters. Freeze them at least 30 minutes even if you plan to use them that night. They may be kept frozen for weeks. Broil until they puff up and are bubbly and slightly golden. They take just a few minutes. Serve hot.
BROILED CRAB MELTAWAYS
This recipe is great for parties, and you can store it ready-to-go in the freezer for up to two months. It's very handy to keep some frozen for those random black-tie affairs that sometimes pop up at one's residence unexpectedly. This recipe came from "Southern Living, 1993 Annual Recipes". I have found this a great gift for batchelor friends, stores easily, broils easily and impresses ladies and parents alike!

Steps:
- Combine the first 6 ingredients. Break apart the crab meat as you like.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons on each cut side of each muffin half.
- Cut each half into 4 pieces and place on baking sheets.
- Freeze at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, broil 6 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 3 minutes or until puffed and bubbly.
- If storing for later, place pieces into a tupperware, separating each layer with waxed paper to keep the gooey cheese from sticking.
Tips:
- To make the crab meltaways as authentic as possible, be sure to use fresh crab meat. Avoid using canned or frozen crab, as these will not produce the same flavor and texture.
- If you are short on time, you can pre-cook the crab cakes and assemble the crab meltaways ahead of time. Simply store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to broil them.
- For a more decadent crab meltaway, use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab meltaways. They should be cooked just until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crab cakes are heated through.

Crab meltaways are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give crab meltaways a try. You won't be disappointed!
