Description
Creamy, cheesy, and packed with crabby goodness, these golden tartlets are party favorites for a reason. We’re doubling the batch and adding a flavor boost—fresh lemon zest, a touch of hot sauce, and buttery puff pastry for an elevated bite that’s rich, festive, and melt-in-your-mouth perfect.
Ingredients
4 (12 oz) packages refrigerated biscuit dough (or substitute with 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed and cut into 3-inch rounds)
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
2 (6 oz) cans or 12 oz fresh lump crab meat, drained and picked over
4 tbsp mayonnaise
4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 tbsp thinly sliced green onions
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Zest of 1 lemon
Few dashes of hot sauce (optional)
Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two mini muffin tins.
Press biscuit dough (or puff pastry rounds) into each muffin cup to form a tart shell.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, crab, mayo, Parmesan, Cheddar, green onions, Worcestershire, lemon zest, and hot sauce until smooth.
Fill each tart shell with 1–2 tablespoons of the crab mixture.
Sprinkle with paprika and bake for 18–20 minutes or until puffed and golden.
Cool slightly and serve warm.
