Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 15 cups Mini phyllo cups
- 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, taking care not to break apart the pieces too much.
Stir in the parsley and green onions to evenly distribute the flavors.
Arrange the mini phyllo cups on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the crab mixture evenly into each phyllo cup, filling them generously but without overloading.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle a small amount of the breadcrumb mixture on top of each filled phyllo cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a delightful party appetizer or snack!
