Crab Pretzel Directions

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the crab mixture on each pretzel. Dust lightly with paprika for added flavor.

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
