BROILED CRAB MELTAWAYS image

Categories     Christmas

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package (six) English muffins
½ pound crabmeat
1 stick margarine
1 (6 ounce) jar Old English sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon garlic salt

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to use a good quality bread for your crab melt-aways. A sturdy bread will hold up better to the filling.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss are all popular choices, but you can also try using other cheeses like Gouda or Fontina.
  • If you're using a bread machine, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for making dough. You can also make the dough by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • When shaping the crab melt-aways, be sure to press them down firmly so that they hold together well.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab melt-aways. They should be cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but the crab meat should still be tender.
  • Serve the crab melt-aways immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crab melt-aways are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your friends and family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give crab melt-aways a try.
