Cheesy, Garlicky, Crunchy
This one is dedicated to my grandmother, Nonnie Gazo! Funny enough, the recipe came from the other side of my family but my grandmother loves these more than anything. Crabbies have always been a staple appetizer in my family. No matter the occasion, you always know they will be there on a platter just calling your name. Crunchy, cheesy, garlicky goodness that once you start munching on them, you won’t stop until you’re full or more likely, until they’re all gone.
You can prep these ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when the time is right. I’ve also been known to make extra and put them in a freezer zip lock bag and store them in the freezer so I can have them whenever I feel like it.
Traditional Crabbies use some Old Bay Seasoning but I grew up on this version so I’m sticking to it. Enjoy!

Instructions
Make the Topping
- Take a medium sized mixing bowl and empty the jar of Old English Cheese. I like to use a butter knife and work my way around the inside of the jar.
- Next open the can of crab meat and drain all the juices, squeezing them out of the meat like you do with a can of tuna. Once the juices are out, add the crab meat to the bowl.
- In the same bowl, add the melted butter, mayo, and garlic powder. Use are much or as little garlic powder as you like – I usually add it until I can smell the garlic. Mix all the ingredients well until it makes a semi spreadable mixture.
Prep the Muffins
- Take your English Muffins and cut them in half. Spread a good of amount of the mixture on each half. You should have enough mixture to cover about 3/4 of the package of English Muffins.
- Take your covered muffin halves and cut them in quarters.
Bake
- Put them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 10 – 15 minutes. Once the cheese is bubbling, turn the oven on broil for about 5 minutes or until the tops are just starting to brown. Cool for a few minutes and dig in!!!
