Tips:

  • Choose the right crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat can be used in this recipe. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Shred the crab meat finely. This will help to ensure that the crab meat is evenly distributed throughout the pinwheels.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese provides a rich and flavorful filling.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder are classic additions to crab pinwheels. You can also add a touch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Don't overfill the pinwheels. Too much filling will make the pinwheels difficult to roll and seal.
  • Bake the pinwheels until they are golden brown. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the pinwheels are crispy.

Conclusion:

Crab pinwheels are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make these tasty treats at home. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, give crab pinwheels a try!
