Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 6 whole English muffins
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and Old Bay seasoning. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Split the English muffins in half to create 12 halves, and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Evenly spoon the crab mixture onto each muffin half, spreading it to cover the surface completely.
Lightly sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each muffin half for added color and flavor.
Bake the prepared muffins in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and allow the Crabbies to cool for 1-2 minutes. Cut them into halves or quarters if desired for smaller portions.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
