How to Make Hot Crabmeat Sandwiches

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup lump crabmeat, 1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts, 1 tablespoon chopped pimento, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Mix until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Toast four English muffin halves until lightly golden brown. Divide the crabmeat mixture evenly among the toasted halves.
  4. Top each with a slice of Swiss cheese (about 1 ounce per slice).
  5. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  6. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle lightly with paprika.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious weekend treat!
