Steps:
- Soften butter and cheese at room temperature.
- Blend cheese, butter and salts, add crabmeat.
- Spread mixture on split muffins.
- Cut muffins into 6 pie shaped slices and place on cookie sheet.
- Broil 2 minutes or until bubbly or bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
- If desired, freeze until ready to use. (Note: If you are planning to freeze your canapies immediately, do not cut them until they are frozen. Just lay out the halves on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then, while they are still frozen, take an electric knife and cut the english muffin halves into canapies. Once you have cut them all, place in zip-top bags for long-term storage. By slicing them while frozen, they are easier to cut, and you won't lose any crabmeat spread this way! Place the canapies on a baking sheet in the freezer and then place in Zip-Loc bags when frozen).
- Then, place on a baking sheet and thaw for 10 minutes before baking/broiling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*.
- Mix cream cheese, crabmeat, onion and horseradish together in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle with almonds.
- Bake at 350* for 15 minutes.
- Serve on water crackers or toast points.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality crabmeat. Fresh or frozen crabmeat is best, but canned crabmeat can also be used in a pinch. Avoid using imitation crabmeat, as it will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Use a variety of fillings. In addition to crabmeat, you can also add other ingredients to your canapés, such as cream cheese, chopped celery, red onion, or capers. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Make sure your canapés are well-chilled before serving. This will help them hold their shape and prevent the fillings from becoming too soft.
- Garnish your canapés with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Crabmeat canapés are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily create these tasty treats at home. So next time you're looking for a special appetizer, give crabmeat canapés a try.
