Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cheesy Crabmeat Canapes
  1. In a medium bowl, combine sharp pasteurized cheese spread, crabmeat, softened unsalted butter, and mayonnaise. Add seasoned salt and garlic salt. Stir until creamy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the English muffins in half and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet.

  4. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the canapes are solid.
