Over the years, I've seen these versatile sandwiches please guests at occasions from fancy teas to last-minute suppers, writes Florence McClelland, Fredonia, New York. To serve them as appetizers, I add some chili sauce and a little prepared horseradish to the crab mixture, she notes.
Ingredients:
4 english muffins, split
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. Broil English muffins 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper and tarragon; stir in crab. Spread over each muffin half; sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
