Broiled Crab Puffs

Broiled Crab Puffs

1 pound imitation crab
1 5-oz jar Processed Sharp cheese (Kraft Old English)
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons butter melted
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
10 saltine crackers crushed
6 English muffins halved & quartered*

Instructions: Heat the jar of cheese in a pan of water or in the microwave long enough to soften.

Combine all ingredients except crab & muffins; mix well. Gently add crab. (I do all of this in a food processor.)

Spoon crab mixture on uncooked triangles of English muffins. (These crab topped muffins must be frozen for at least 30 minutes before broiling.)

When ready to serve, broil until bubbly & slightly golden brown. It will only take a few minutes.

Note: Be sure to use all 48 pieces of muffins. If made too thick, the outside will get too brown before the center cooks. Make these ahead of time & keep in the freezer for 3-4 weeks before baking. Keep well sealed.

* Instead of quartering the muffins ahead of time & trying to spread the crab mixture on the little triangles, I spread the mixture on the muffin, then quarter it.
