CHEESY CRAB TARTS



Cheesy Crab Tarts image

I love to entertain and always looking for yummy appetizers. These wonderful little tarts are compliments of Paula Deen. I prepared them ahead of time and warmed them in the oven before my guests arrived. Besides their scrumptious taste and slight kick they make a beautiful presentation. I also substituted the lump crab with imitation crab.

Categories     Crab

Time 40m

Yield 32 tarts, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

32 wonton wrappers
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, I used light with success
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 (8 ounce) container lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed. See above note
1/4 cup green onion, minced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 32 cups of a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Place center of wonton wrappers in bottom of mini muffin cups, pressing edges of wrappers against sides of pan to form a cup. Spray edges of wonton wrappers with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, and next 6 ingredients; beat with an electric mixer at low speed until smoooth. Fold in crabmeat, green onion, and red bell pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: For the best flavor and texture, select avocados that are ripe but not overripe. Give them a gentle squeeze; they should yield to slight pressure but not feel mushy.
  • Prepare the crab meat: If using fresh crab meat, remove any shells or cartilage. If using canned crab meat, drain and flake it with a fork.
  • Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this tartlet, so be sure to use a high-quality variety that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or jack cheese works well.
  • Don't overfill the tartlet shells: The filling should be mounded slightly in the center of the tartlet shells, but be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, the filling may spill over during baking.
  • Bake the tartlets until golden brown: The tartlets are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

These Jack Cheese and Crab Tartlets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. The creamy avocado filling is perfectly complemented by the sharp cheddar cheese and flaky crust. Plus, they're a great way to use up leftover crab meat. So next time you're looking for a tasty and impressive dish to serve, give these tartlets a try!
