We’re bringing you a New England classic. We’re keeping it classy and coastal this Thanksgiving with this recipe for crabbies. If you can’t host your friends at a gorgeous cedar-shingled Cape house on Martha’s Vineyard, you can at least take their taste buds there. It may have been a brat summer, but it’s a coastal grandmother fall.
This crabbies recipe makes for an easy but essential appetizer made of English muffins, crab meat, and a cheddar cheese spread. Pop these in the oven as your first guests arrive for the perfect warm, cheesy start to the evening.
CRABBIES
½ cup salted butter, softened
1 (5-ounce) jar Kraft Old English Spread cheese
1½ teaspoons mayo
½ teaspoon garlic powder
7 ounces crabmeat
6 English muffins
Combine salted butter, Kraft Old English Spread, mayo, garlic powder and crabmeat in a bowl and mix well.
Separate the English muffin halves and place on a foil-lined baking sheet that will fit in your freezer. Spread the cheese-crab mixture evenly between the 12 English muffin pieces.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 hour.
Uncover and broil in the oven for 5 minutes, until golden brown. Cut the crabbies into quarters and serve.
