- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 pieces Crackers or baguette slices

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat and green onions, being careful not to break up the crab too much.
Arrange the crackers or baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each cracker or baguette slice, spreading it evenly.
Top each appetizer with a small sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.

Sprinkle a pinch of paprika over each appetizer for a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious crabmeat appetizers!
