Crab Bites

Crab Bites With Salsa

Diana Rattray
These crab bites are so easy to make, and this recipe makes enough for 48 appetizers

Ingredients:

  • 6 English muffins, split
  • 1 roll (6 ounces) garlic cheese, or a small jar (5 ounces) of Old English Cheese Spread, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, if not using garlic cheese
  • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 can (6 to 7 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked
  • sliced green onions and tomatoes for garnish, if desired

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°. Arrange split muffins, cut side up, on a baking pan lined with foil.

In a medium bowl, mash the garlic cheese or cheese spread with butter, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, if using, and parsley. Stir in the crabmeat. Spread evenly over the split muffins. Bake for 10 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Cut into quarters and serve warm, garnished with green onions and diced tomatoes, if desired.
Makes 48 crab bites.

"This one got rave reviews from all my BUNCO ladies. TIP - they freeze really well, you can toast them in the toaster oven right from the freezer and they come out perfect. Also, if you freeze after spreading the cheese mixture but before cutting, it makes them much easier to cut into quarters."
