These cheesy Crab Melts on English muffins are a great party appetizer. They are easy to make and packed with flavor from the combination of canned crab, old English cheese, and spices.
English muffins are not just for breakfast anymore. There are no rules that they can’t be eaten for any meal along with being great for snacks, appetizers, lunch or even dinner.
