How to Make Easy Crabmeat Canapes

  1. Let 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter and 4 ounces of cream cheese stand at room temperature to soften.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter and cream cheese. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of shredded crab meat. Mix until well combined.
  4. Spread the crab mixture evenly onto 12 split mini muffins. Cover and freeze for at least 15 minutes, or up to several weeks.
  5. Before serving, preheat your broiler. Cut each muffin into 8 equal pieces. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Serve immediately and enjoy!
