Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole English muffins
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 stalk (finely chopped) Celery
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) Green onion
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.125 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp (softened) Butter
Instructions
Preheat the broiler on your oven or toaster oven to high.
Split the English muffins in half and lightly butter the cut sides. Place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Toast the English muffins under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, sliced green onion, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Divide the crab salad mixture evenly among the 8 English muffin halves, spreading it across the top of each muffin.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the crab salad on each muffin half.
Return the baking sheet to the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove from the broiler and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
