Delight in the rich flavors of tender crab meat and sharp cheddar cheese, all encased in fluffy biscuits and topped with a zesty lemon butter sauce. This irresistible appetizer combines the savory taste of the sea with the comfort of warm biscuits, making it the perfect crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

For the biscuits:

  • 1 box Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the crab filling:

  • 1 pound fully cooked crab meat
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (add more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 package Ritz crackers, crushed
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

For the lemon butter:

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the biscuit dough: Follow the instructions on the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix packaging and set the dough aside.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat two muffin trays with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Prepare the crab filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, paprika, onion powder, mayonnaise, mustard, crushed crackers, and Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly, adding additional mayonnaise if necessary to achieve the right consistency.
  4. Assemble the biscuits: Lightly flour your hands and scoop a small portion of biscuit dough. Flatten the dough into a cup shape and spoon in a generous amount of the crab filling. Seal the filling with more dough and shape into a biscuit. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling.
  5. Bake: Place each assembled biscuit into the prepared muffin tin and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Finish with lemon butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with lemon juice. Once the biscuits are done baking, brush the tops with the lemon butter for an extra burst of flavor.

Serve these delectable Crab-Filled Cheddar Bay Biscuits warm and enjoy the perfect balance of cheesy, savory, and tangy goodness.
