How to Make Annapolis Crab Appetizers

  1. Split 4 English muffins in half.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
  3. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Spread the crab mixture evenly onto the muffin halves.
  5. Place the prepared muffin halves on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 months.
  6. When ready to serve, preheat your broiler. Remove the frozen crab muffins from the freezer and cut each half into quarters.
  7. Arrange the quartered muffins on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve immediately and enjoy!
