This recipe was an e-mail from Bisquick mix. It has all the ingredients that I love(and yes you can use imitation crab-it just won't taste quite the same- but still very good). This is one of those impossible mini muffins using crabmeat,veggies,original bisquick and topped with aioli-if desired a mild and flavorful meal! I loved...

CRAB MUFFINS
Steps:
- Mix butter, cheez whiz, mayo and seasonings until smooth then mix in crab. Spread on muffins. Freeze at least 30 minutes. Broil until bubbly. I kind of mix up the quantities of the ingredients. Sometimes I add more crab, sometimes less butter, sometimes more cheez whiz...It always works out. You just don't want the mixture to be runny - just a nice spreadable consistency. I usually make up a batch and wrap them in pairs in wax paper, then again in foil and just store them in the freezer to keep on hand. They cook best when frozen so when I want some I just take them out of the freezer and pop them in either the toaster oven or oven and broil until they're browned and bubbly. Also, you're supposed to cut them in quarters before you freeze them since they're appetizers but since I eat them as a meal I just keep them whole. If you keep them whole, sometimes I take them from the freezer, unwrap them and defrost them just a bit in the microwave before I broil them. Since they're whole and frozen sometimes they're broiled before they're thawed all the way in the middle.

Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients. Split muffins. Spread each half with mixture. Put on cookie sheet and in freezer for one hour. Then cut into 6ths. Put under broiler for about 2 minutes
Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen crab, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked crab will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a variety of fillings: In addition to crab, you can also add other fillings to your muffins, such as vegetables, cheese, or herbs.
- Make sure your muffins are cooked through: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Conclusion:
Crab muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy meal. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a crab muffin recipe that you'll love.
