Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them in a toaster or oven until they are slightly crisp. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Spread a thin layer of butter over the cut sides of the toasted English muffins.
Evenly distribute the crab mixture over the buttered side of each muffin half, spreading it generously to cover the surface.
Place the prepared muffins on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor and visual appeal.
