Calories: 192kcal
Ingredients
- 6 English muffins halved
- 1 6 oz can white crab meat drained well, you want the meat DRY
- 1 5 oz jar Kraft Old English cheese spread
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 stick butter softened
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip them together until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the mixture evenly out over the halved English muffins. Make sure to get it into the nooks and crannies.
- Transfer the prepared crab spread muffins to a baking dish. Lay the baking dish flat in the freezer, and freeze the crabbies for 2 hours.
- Set your oven on broil, and transfer the baking dish to the hot oven. Broil for 4-5 minutes, watching them, just until the muffins are toasted and the crab spread is melted and golden brown on top.
- Serve whole, or quarter to serve them bite sized. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can sub fresh crab meat or canned baby shrimp, if preferred.
- For a Southern touch, use spicy (or regular) Pimento cheese in place of the old English cheese spread.
- If serving a crowd, cut each crispy crabbie into quarters before serving.
- You can add a dash of Old Bay seasoning to the mixture for some extra zip! You can also sprinkle it on after it's baked.
