Hot Crab Canapes Recipes

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 degrees. With an electric mixer, mix all ingredients in a bowl. Place mixture in a shallow ovenproof casserole dish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or microwave until warm (2 to 3 minutes). Serve with crackers. This may be frozen for future use.

Steps:

• Spread cream cheese over crackers. Top with crab, preserves, coconut, nuts and chives.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.

• Top each canape with 2 asparagus halves, cut side down.
• Sprinkle canapes with grated Parmesan cheese.

• NOTE: To blanch the asparagus, cook in boiling water for 1 - 2 minutes.

• These canapes can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, loosely wrapped in plastic wrap.
• Because you will be baking from cold, allow 3 - 4 minutes extra cooking time.

Steps:
