Crab-Stuffed Corn Muffins image

These muffins remind me of a New England crab or lobster roll, where they simply pile warm, buttery seafood on those toasted rolls. These would make a great game day party snack.

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
8 ounces cooked crabmeat
½ cup grated pepper Jack cheese
1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Asian chili paste (sambal)
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon minced green onion
½ cup melted butter
¼ cup grated pepper Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Combine crab meat, 1/2 cup pepper Jack cheese, mayonnaise, chili paste, lemon zest, and Worcestershire sauce together in a large bowl. Season with salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in eggs, buttermilk, green onion, and melted butter; whisk until combined.
  • Divide batter evenly in the prepared muffin tin, reaching 3/4 full. Tap the pan on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
  • Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture into the center of each muffin. Lightly press the crab mixture into the batter. Top each muffin using 1/4 cup pepper Jack cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of crab, but I loved these muffins. The cornbread is moist and flavorful, and the crab filling is delicate and delicious.

I've made these muffins with both fresh and canned crab and they're always delicious. I think that canned crab works just as well as fresh crab in this recipe.

I added some chopped green onions to the batter and they turned out great. I also think that adding a bit of Old Bay seasoning would be a nice touch.
