BROILED CRAB MELTAWAYS

 

It takes just 10 minutes to make these 48 hot canapes that melt in your mouth.  Keeping a supply in your freezer takes little space, and you’re always ready for unexpected guests.  They also are excellent to serve with soup or a salad for a luncheon.  I promise they’ll be the talk of the evening.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 pkg. 5 English muffins

˝ lb. Crabmeat or (7 oz.) can

1 stick margarine

1 (7 oz.) jar Old English Sharp Cheddar cheese

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

˝ tsp. Seasoned salt

˝ tsp. Garlic salt

 

     Use 1 package of 6 English muffins.  Slice in half and cut each half into fourths and arrange on two cookie trays.  Put the remaining ingredients in the small bowl of our mixer.  Mix all this well.  I use my mixer.  Spread on English Muffins quarters.  Now, here’s the secret – the most important step.  You must freeze them at least 30 minutes.  They may be kept frozen for weeks.  When party time arrives, broil them until they puff up and are bubbly and slightly golden brown.  They just take a few minutes.  Serve hot and just listen to everyone carry on.

 

P.S. Watch them in the freezer.  Someone at my house keeps stealing a few.
