This Crab Melt takes your favorite crab-meat blend and turns it into a gooey, cheesy open-face masterpiece. With a creamy crab mixture seasoned just right, melted cheddar cheese, and sweet slices of tomato, all nested on buttered English muffins and broiled to perfection — it’s comfort food done crispy and indulgent. Perfect for a quick lunch, elegant brunch, or anytime you want something satisfying without a lot of fuss.

  • 8 oz Crab Meat Combo

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup green onion, chopped

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¼ cup fresh flat parsley, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning

  • 4 Tbsp butter (salted or unsalted)

  • 4 English muffins, separated

  • 1 large tomato, cut into slices

  • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

  • In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped flat parsley, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, and gently fold in the crab meat. Make sure to preserve the lumps of crab for texture.

  • Butter the English muffin halves evenly. Slice the tomato; reserve the tomato slices. Chop parsley for garnish.

  • Preheat your oven to Broil — high, placing the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source (third rack up).

  • Place the buttered English muffins on a sheet pan and broil until lightly browned, about 2–3 minutes.

  • Remove the muffins, scoop the crab mixture on each muffin half, then top each with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Broil again for 2–3 minutes until cheese starts melting and bubbling.

  • Add a slice of tomato on top of the melted cheese, then sprinkle another handful of cheese over the tomato. Broil for another 2–3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and golden.

  • Remove from oven, garnish with extra chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
