Cheesy Crab Tarts

"I love to entertain and always looking for yummy appetizers. These wonderful little tarts are compliments of Paula Deen. I prepared them ahead of time and warmed them in the oven before my guests arrived. Besides their scrumptious taste and slight kick they make a beautiful presentation. I also substituted the lump crab with imitation crab."

  1. I made this on Sunday for the Packer Game! They were seriously gone in about 10 minutes. I've been told I will be bringing them as my dish on Christmas Eve also. My pleasure they are soooo delicious! Patty Firkus
     
  2. WOW!!!! What a delicious recipe. Made them last night for my Bunko group and my husband almost ate most of the filling before I got a chance to fill the shells and bake them. Then when they came out of the oven, trying to keep him away was very hard. Everyone that had these loved them. Thanks for posting. ChefRaylene
     
  3. I make these every month or so for our 'after church' snacks ... they are gone instantly ... definitely consider putting a little Old Bay in the mix and also sprinkle on top (just a little) - adds a kick you will be everyone's best friends after making these but keep to the recipe the first few times (except for the Old Bay ...)
     
  4. I've made these many times now and they're always a hit - never any leftovers. I usually double the amount of crab, depending on the price of crab at the time. I even made them with nothing but the fake crab, not telling anyone, and they still raved about them. I felt a little guilty, but no one was the wiser. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  5. Really yummy! I did add a little salt & pepper to the mix. Also, I may need to find a different crust. My family didn't care for the edges of the wontons, as they got quite crispy during the baking.

  1. I did add some Old Bay seasoning to the mix and then sprinkled some more on the top before making.
