Ingredients for Aunt Juniors Crabmeat And Cheese Triangles

How to Make Aunt Juniors Crabmeat And Cheese Triangles

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine 1 pound lump crabmeat, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the crab mixture evenly onto 6 large English muffins, cut in half.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the muffins are lightly golden brown.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Once cooled, cut each English muffin half into four triangles.
  6. For best results, freeze for at least 2 hours before baking. This helps maintain the shape during baking and makes them easier to handle.
  7. When ready to serve, bake from frozen for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until heated through and golden.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
