Crabmeat Canapes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a grill to hot, or turn on the broiler. Cook bell pepper until it is completely charred, turning so all sides cook evenly, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer warm pepper to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside until cool.
• Using your hands, rub off charred skin. Slice pepper in half, and remove seeds and stem. Cut pepper into diamond shapes that are slightly larger than a piece of baguette.
• Using a wooden spoon, mix together butter and two mustards in a small bowl until well combined. Spread a generous dollop of mustard butter on each slice of bread.
• Place remaining ingredients except marjoram in a medium bowl, and toss to combine. Place a pepper diamond on each piece of bread, and top with a mound of crab salad. Garnish each canape with several marjoram leaves, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in flour and cook until foamy, about 1 minute. Add milk slowly, whisking constantly. Slowly bring mixture to a boil, continue whisking, and cook until very thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; let cool. When cool, gently fold in crab, red pepper, and chives.
• Using a 1 1/4-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from each slice of bread. Mound 1 level teaspoon crab mixture onto each bread round. Place canapes on a baking sheet, and bake until bread is crisp on the bottom and crab is hot, about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional chives, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• Mix cream cheese, crabmeat, onion and horseradish together in a baking dish.
• Sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake at 350* for 15 minutes.
• Serve on water crackers or toast points.

Steps:

• Soften butter and cheese at room temperature.
• Blend cheese, butter and salts, add crabmeat.
• Spread mixture on split muffins.
• Cut muffins into 6 pie shaped slices and place on cookie sheet.
• Broil 2 minutes or until bubbly or bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes.
• If desired, freeze until ready to use. (Note: If you are planning to freeze your canapies immediately, do not cut them until they are frozen. Just lay out the halves on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then, while they are still frozen, take an electric knife and cut the english muffin halves into canapies. Once you have cut them all, place in zip-top bags for long-term storage. By slicing them while frozen, they are easier to cut, and you won't lose any crabmeat spread this way! Place the canapies on a baking sheet in the freezer and then place in Zip-Loc bags when frozen).
• Then, place on a baking sheet and thaw for 10 minutes before baking/broiling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay out the bread slices and, using the biscuit cutter, punch out 5 bread rounds per slice. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and place the sheet in the top half of the oven for 3 minutes, until the rounds are lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Drain the crabmeat well and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, cumin, hot sauce, lime juice, chives and salt and mix well. Mound the crab mix onto the bread rounds by the teaspoonful and garnish with a piece of chive.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Puree in a food processor along with the lime juice and fresh coriander. Transfer to a bowl, fold in the crabmeat and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until they hold firm peaks but are still creamy. Stir one-fourth of the egg whites into the avocado mixture then fold in the rest.
• Arrange the chips on the baking sheet, spoon some of the avocado mixture onto each and broil until lightly browned. Transfer to a serving dish and serve at once.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Toast bread on a baking sheet in oven until golden, about 5 minutes. In a bowl stir together remaining ingredients with salt and pepper to taste. Toasts and crab-meat mixture may be made 1 day in advance.
