Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
  • If you don't have any phyllo dough on hand, you can substitute puff pastry dough.

  • Serve the crab tartlets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
