Time 29m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
1 pound lump crabmeat
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided
4 to 8 slices pumpernickel bread, cut into 4-inch rounds (making 8 rounds total)
1 cup baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Pitted black olives, cut crosswise into rings
Pimento pieces and strips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Fold in crab, chives and horseradish. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Transfer mixture to a small baking dish and bake 10 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Spread 1/2 teaspoon mustard on 1 side of each pumpernickel round. Top with spinach leaves and crab mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Broil 2 minutes, until top is golden brown. Place 2 olive rings on the top of each crab melt and fill the center with a piece of pimento, making "eyes". Use another strip of pimento to make a circle for a "screaming mouth".

I'm a vegetarian, so I made these melts with tofu instead of crab. They were surprisingly good!

I'm allergic to crab, so I made these melts with shrimp instead. They were delicious!

These crab melts were a disaster! The crab was overcooked and the cheese was rubbery. I won't be making these again.

The crab melts were a bit bland. I think I'll add some Old Bay seasoning next time.

These crab melts were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I'm not a huge fan of crab, but these melts were surprisingly good. The cheese and pumpernickel bread really balanced out the flavor of the crab.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've used different types of crab, cheese, and bread and they've always turned out great.

These were so easy to make and they turned out amazing! I used sourdough bread instead of pumpernickel and they were still delicious.

I've made these crab melts several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of crab, cheese, and pumpernickel bread is just perfect.

These crab melts were a hit with my family! The crab was perfectly cooked and the melted cheese was gooey and delicious. The pumpernickel bread added a nice crunch to the sandwich.
