Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces pre-made tart shells
- 200 grams lump crab meat
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 45 grams mayonnaise
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Arrange the pre-made mini tart shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the crab meat, green onions, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab meat.
Spoon the crab mixture evenly into each tart shell, filling them generously but not overflowing.
Place the filled tart shells in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and the filling is set.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish each tart with a small sprig of fresh dill before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
