Time 25m

Yield 1 10-inch pizza, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 flour tortilla (one 10-inch tortilla)
3 tablespoons neufchatel low-fat cream cheese
8 ounces imitation crabmeat (as chunky as you like!)
3 -4 tablespoons onions (chopped)
garlic powder (just a sprinkling over the entire surface)
salt (to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
cayenne pepper (to taste)
4 ounces swiss cheese (minced or shredded)
1/2 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
6 -8 fresh basil leaves (snipped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F for Pyrex, or 450F for a metal pizza pan.
  • Spread olive oil on pizza pan (I use Pyrex!) to prevent the tortilla from sticking to the pan.
  • Place flour tortilla onto pizza pan and spread on cream cheese.
  • Top with imitation crab meat and onion.
  • Lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  • Top with swiss and cheddar cheeses.
  • Top cheeses with the snipped basil.
  • Bake at 425F (Pyrex) or at 450F (metal) for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and immediately slide pizza onto a wire rack so the crust doesn't sweat!
  • Cool for 10-15 minutes, slide the pizza back onto the pizza pan and cut into 8 pieces, with a pizza cutter.
  • Three-four pieces with a green salad is plenty for two-three persons, or as an appetizer for a few folks!
  • NOTE: Use whatever cheese mixture you like ~ my photo with the blue background is made with swiss and mozzarella, with the basil underneath where it can't be seen!

Categories     Crab

Time 15m

Yield 1 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
10 ounces hot dog chili sauce
6 1/2 ounces of white crabmeat (drained)
Worcestershire sauce
parsley flakes

Steps:

  • Mix softened cream cheese with dash of Worcestershire Sauce until color approximately matches the color of pizza dough.
  • Spread mixture in 8" pie dish to form the pizza crust.
  • Top the "crust" with hot dog chili sauce (about 1/2 the can) to make the pizza sauce.
  • Next spread the crabmeat on top of the pizza sauce as the "cheese".
  • Finally sprinkle lightly with parsley flakes to add a dash of color.
  • Serve with crackers or corn chips.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give your pizza a more delicate and flavorful taste. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a variety of cheeses on your pizza. This will give your pizza a more complex and flavorful taste. Some good choices for cheeses include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • Don't overload your pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make your pizza soggy and difficult to cook. Stick to a few simple toppings that you love.
  • Cook your pizza at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from becoming soggy. The best temperature for cooking pizza is between 450 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let your pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the toppings from sliding off the pizza.

Conclusion:

Crabmeat pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crabmeat pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
