What are Crabbies?
Crabbies are a type of savory appetizer or snack that typically consists of crab meat mixed with various seasonings and then baked or fried inside a small pastry shell. They are a popular dish for parties and gatherings, and can be served hot or cold. Crabbies can be made with a variety of ingredients and can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 1 (6-ounce) jar cheese spread (i.e. Kraft Old English Cheese)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (8-ounce) can lump crabmeat, drained
- 6 English muffins, split
Instructions
- If you’re serving these right away, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, cheese spread, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and salt at medium speed until well-combined. Gently toss in the crab meat with a fork.
- Spread the mixture on top of the muffins, yielding 12 crabbies total.
- Cut each crabbie into 4-6, pizza-like triangles.
- For make-ahead instructions, skip to the next step. If you’re serving them right away, place the crabbies on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until bubbly and crisp. Serve and enjoy!
Make-Ahead Directions:

- Transfer the crabbies into freezer-safe bags, squeezing out as much air as you can to prevent freezer burn. Freeze until ready to use.
