Mushroom Crab Melts image

I received this recipe from my grandmother. The rich open-faced treats are a favorite main dish alongside a green salad, but I've also cut them into quarters to serve as hors d'oeuvres. To save time, make the crab-mushroom topping early in the day and store it in the refrigerator. -Jean Bevilacqua, Rhododendron, Oregon

These melts were a little bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less salt.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out great. I think you could use any type of cheese you like.

I'm allergic to crab, so I used shrimp instead. It was still delicious!

I added a little bit of chopped onion to the mushrooms and it really enhanced the flavor.

These melts were easy to make and turned out great! I used a can of crab meat instead of fresh crab, and it worked just as well.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed these melts. The crab and cheese were the perfect complement to the mushrooms.
