Cheesy Crabmeat Canapes Food

CHEESY CRABMEAT CANAPES

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine ingredients--cheese through garlic salt. Place English muffin halves on baking sheet. Spread about 3 tablespoons cheese crab mixture on each half, dividing evenly as possible. Cut into quarter triangles. At this point you may freeze the canapes. Once they are frozen, you can remove them from the tray and store in a zip top bag or freezer safe container.
• To prepare, heat broiler on LOW. Place frozen canapes on baking sheet. Place under broiler for 5-7 minutes, checking after 5 minutes to make sure they do not burn. Heat until warmed through and cheese mixture is bubbly. If you would like them to be a little golden on top, switch broiler to HIGH and broil an additional 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.

SWISS SEAFOOD CANAPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine first nine ingredients. Place bread on ungreased baking sheets. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn slices; spread each with 1 rounded tablespoonful of seafood mixture. Broil 4-5 minutes longer or until heated through.

CHEESY CRAB APPETIZER

Steps:

• Mix together the first 5 ingredients.
• Slice muffins in half horizontal.
• Spread each muffin half with the cheeze/crab mixture.
• Place under broiler and brown (WATCH CAREFULLY SO IT DOESN'T BURN).
• Cut each muffin half into quarters when cool enough to handle.
• (I keep a bag of these in the freezer for when unexpected guests show up. Just broil as instructed above, place on a cookie sheet to freeze, then transfer to freezer bags. When guests arrive, place in microwave to heat up and then serve).

CRABMEAT CANAPES - APPETIZERS

Steps:

• Soften butter and cheese at room temperature.
• Blend cheese, butter and salts, add crabmeat.
• Spread mixture on split muffins.
• Cut muffins into 6 pie shaped slices and place on cookie sheet.
• Broil 2 minutes or until bubbly or bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
• If desired, freeze until ready to use. (Note: If you are planning to freeze your canapies immediately, do not cut them until they are frozen. Just lay out the halves on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then, while they are still frozen, take an electric knife and cut the english muffin halves into canapies. Once you have cut them all, place in zip-top bags for long-term storage. By slicing them while frozen, they are easier to cut, and you won't lose any crabmeat spread this way! Place the canapies on a baking sheet in the freezer and then place in Zip-Loc bags when frozen).
• Then, place on a baking sheet and thaw for 10 minutes before baking/broiling.

CRAB-MEAT PARMESAN CANAPES

• Reduce oven to 375°F. Spread crab-meat mixture on toasts and arrange on baking sheet. Canapés may be assembled 30 minutes in advance. Bake canapés in middle of oven until puffed, about 10 minutes.
