Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Crabmeat: Check the crabmeat carefully for any shells or cartilage. Set aside.

English Muffins: Use a toaster or oven to lightly toast the English muffin halves until just golden. Set aside.

Step 2: Preheat the Broiler

Adjust your oven rack so it’s about 6 inches from the broiler element. Preheat your broiler on high.

Step 3: Make the Crab Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, softened butter, sliced green onions, chopped parsley, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

Gently fold in the crabmeat to the mixture, being careful not to break up the lumps of crab too much.

Step 4: Assemble

Spread a generous amount of the crab mixture on each half of the toasted English muffins. Ensure it’s evenly distributed.

Sprinkle the top of each with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5: Broil

Place the prepared English muffin halves on a baking sheet.

Broil in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the muffins are crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 6: Serve Immediately

Once done, remove from the oven. Allow cooling for a minute before serving. The crab melt is best enjoyed while hot and crispy.
