I know that I said that I would get back to doing this now that my life has settled down again, but for some reason, I just haven’t. Well, I am going to say it again and hope it sticks this time.  I recently made a crab appetizer that I have done a few times now with the help of Jenn.  It was really her idea about a year ago to make these for a dinner party, but we ate them without taking pictures, so there’s no record of that.  Coincidentally, I also made them for a dinner party this go around and took pics for good measure.  Now, they aren’t the greatest pictures (and there is no plating) as I was running late to the party (fashionably late of course). We originally got the recipe from here.  And each time, I tweaked it a little to fit my needs better.  They are definitely easy to make and so far, both dinner parties enjoyed them a lot.  My colleague actually just asked me for the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg of flour tortillas, cut into drinking glass rim-sized circles
• 1 8oz pkg soft cream cheese
• 2 (6 ounce) can crab meat, drained (original recipe calls for 1, but c’mon…)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pinch paprika

Directions:

• *this is where I made some tweaks* The original recipe called for biscuit dough, which I have tried and it just turned out too doughy and took away from the whole dish.  This time I tried little circles of flour tortillas, which turned out to be a lot better
• Brush the tortilla circles with a little bit of melter butter or olive oil and press into a muffin/cupcake pan
• Bake the tortillas at 375 degrees for ~10 min or until golden brown and crispy
• At the same time, mix the cream cheese, crab meat, mayo, parmesan, cheddar cheese, green onion, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl
• Place a spoonful of the mixture into each tortilla bowl (still in the muffin pan) and garnish with a dash of paprika
• Bake at 375 degrees for ~15-18 minutes
• Take them out and enjoy with some friends/impress some coworkers
