CRABMEAT CANAPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.

• Sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake at 350* for 15 minutes.
• Serve on water crackers or toast points.

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.

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 CANAPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour and cook until foamy, about 1 minute. Add milk slowly, whisking constantly. Slowly bring mixture to a boil, continue whisking, and cook until very thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; let cool. When cool, gently fold in crab, red pepper, and chives.
• Using a 1 1/4-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from each slice of bread. Mound 1 level teaspoon crab mixture onto each bread round. Place canapes on a baking sheet, and bake until bread is crisp on the bottom and crab is hot, about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional chives, and serve warm.

CRAB SALAD CANAPES

Steps:

• Heat a grill to hot, or turn on the broiler. Cook bell pepper until it is completely charred, turning so all sides cook evenly, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer warm pepper to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until cool.
• Using your hands, rub off charred skin. Slice pepper in half, and remove seeds and stem. Cut pepper into diamond shapes that are slightly larger than a piece of baguette.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix together butter and two mustards in a small bowl until well combined. Spread a generous dollop of mustard butter on each slice of bread.
• Place remaining ingredients except marjoram in a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Place a pepper diamond on each piece of bread, and top with a mound of crab salad. Garnish each canape with several marjoram leaves, and serve.
