Broiled Crab Meltaways image

This recipe is great for parties, and you can store it ready-to-go in the freezer for up to two months. It's very handy to keep some frozen for those random black-tie affairs that sometimes pop up at one's residence unexpectedly. This recipe came from "Southern Living, 1993 Annual Recipes". I have found this a great gift for batchelor friends, stores easily, broils easily and impresses ladies and parents alike!

Time 25m

Yield 48 meltaways, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (7 ounce) jar sharp processed cheese spread
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can lump crabmeat (or 8 oz imitation crab)
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 dash seasoning salt
6 English muffins, split

Steps:

  • Combine the first 6 ingredients. Break apart the crab meat as you like.
  • Spread about 2 tablespoons on each cut side of each muffin half.
  • Cut each half into 4 pieces and place on baking sheets.
  • Freeze at least 30 minutes.
  • To serve, broil 6 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 3 minutes or until puffed and bubbly.
  • If storing for later, place pieces into a tupperware, separating each layer with waxed paper to keep the gooey cheese from sticking.
