BROILED CRAB MELTAWAYS
This recipe is great for parties, and you can store it ready-to-go in the freezer for up to two months. It's very handy to keep some frozen for those random black-tie affairs that sometimes pop up at one's residence unexpectedly. This recipe came from "Southern Living, 1993 Annual Recipes". I have found this a great gift for batchelor friends, stores easily, broils easily and impresses ladies and parents alike!

Steps:
- 1. MIX TOGETHER BUTTER AND CHEESE UNTIL BLENDED; ADD SALTS AND MAYONNAISE. STIR IN CRAB MEAT. CUT EACH ENGLISH MUFFIN HALF INTO QUARTERS. PUT A TEASPOON OF CRAB MIXTURE ON EACH QUARTER. PUT UNDER THE BROILER UNTIL LIGHT BROWN.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, thawed frozen crab meat is an acceptable substitute.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the crab meltaways tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a mini muffin tin: A mini muffin tin is the perfect size for crab meltaways. They're also easy to find at most kitchen stores.
- Bake the crab meltaways until they're golden brown: The crab meltaways should be baked until they're golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the crab meltaways warm: Crab meltaways are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also serve them cold, but they're not as good.
Conclusion:
Crab meltaways are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. They're made with a simple batter that's filled with crab meat, cheese, and vegetables. The crab meltaways are then baked until they're golden brown and cooked through. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
