WARM CRAB PARMESAN DIP
This dip is a huge hit with everyone who tries it. It's even better with fresh crabmeat, but canned works fine. I took it to a party and every person wanted the recipe. Serve it with blue corn chips. This one will really wow them.

CRABMEAT CANAPES - APPETIZERS
This is a very simple, very tasty snack or appetizer. They freeze well, so you can take them out and make as many as you want. They are equally fitting for elegant cocktail parties or Super Bowl Sunday! (This recipe stretches well. Add more Cheez Whiz, butter and english muffins for folks who don't want as much of the crab taste.)

Steps:
- Soften butter and cheese at room temperature.
- Blend cheese, butter and salts, add crabmeat.
- Spread mixture on split muffins.
- Cut muffins into 6 pie shaped slices and place on cookie sheet.
- Broil 2 minutes or until bubbly or bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
- If desired, freeze until ready to use. (Note: If you are planning to freeze your canapies immediately, do not cut them until they are frozen. Just lay out the halves on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then, while they are still frozen, take an electric knife and cut the english muffin halves into canapies. Once you have cut them all, place in zip-top bags for long-term storage. By slicing them while frozen, they are easier to cut, and you won't lose any crabmeat spread this way! Place the canapies on a baking sheet in the freezer and then place in Zip-Loc bags when frozen).
- Then, place on a baking sheet and thaw for 10 minutes before baking/broiling.
Tips:
- For the perfect crab meat, choose fresh, lump crab meat. Avoid using canned or frozen crab meat, as it will not yield the same quality results.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan will give you the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Cook it just until it is heated through, otherwise it will become tough.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the crab meat. Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and garlic powder are all good choices.
- Serve the crab meat parmesan canapes immediately after they are made. They are best when they are hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Crab meat parmesan canapes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With their creamy, cheesy filling and crispy breadcrumb coating, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
