Crab Bites Mixture

Method

Prepare the Crab Mixture

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the pieces too much. Set aside.

Prepare the Topping

  1. 3

    In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter and chopped parsley (if using) until evenly coated.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 4

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into each mini phyllo shell.

  3. 6

    Top each filled shell with a small amount of the buttery panko topping.

  4. 7

    Place filled shells on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the filling is heated through.

  5. 8

    Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
