Ingredients
- 6 pieces English muffins
- 8 ounces Crabmeat (canned or fresh)
- 6 ounces Old English sharp cheddar cheese spread
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder

Instructions
Preheat your oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Split the English muffins in half and lay them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Spread an even layer of the crab cheese mixture onto each muffin half, covering the entire surface.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tops are bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the meltaways from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing each muffin half into quarters for serving.
