Mushroom Crab Melts image

I received this recipe from my grandmother. The rich open-faced treats are a favorite main dish alongside a green salad, but I've also cut them into quarters to serve as hors d'oeuvres. To save time, make the crab-mushroom topping early in the day and store it in the refrigerator. -Jean Bevilacqua, Rhododendron, Oregon

I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I still enjoyed these melts. The mushrooms and cheese were so flavorful that the crab flavor was barely noticeable.

The next time I make these, I'm going to add some chopped green onions for a little extra flavor.
