Directions:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Begin by mixing instant onions with the water and let them stand to rehydrate.
-
Make the Cheese Blend:
- In a mixing bowl, blend together the rehydrated onions, salad dressing, cheddar cheese, and 0.125 teaspoon of garlic powder until well combined. This forms a savory cheese mixture that will top your nibbles.
-
Assemble the Nibbles:
- Take each cracker and mound a generous portion of the cheese mixture on top. Place them evenly spaced on a cookie sheet.
-
Add Tomato Slices:
- On top of each cheese mound, place a slice of cherry tomato. This adds a burst of freshness and color to the nibbles.
-
Top with Crab Meat:
- Next, add a small amount of crab meat on top of each tomato slice. This succulent seafood topping elevates the flavor profile of the nibbles.
-
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter and mix in the remaining garlic powder. This creates a garlic-infused buttery drizzle that enhances the taste of the nibbles.
-
Brush with Garlic Butter:
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush the garlic butter mixture on top of each assembled nibble.
-
Broil to Perfection:
- Preheat your oven’s broiler setting. Place the cookie sheet with the assembled nibbles under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once the nibbles are hot and golden brown, remove them from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Serve immediately while still warm for the best flavor experience.
Enjoy these Crab Nibbles as a delightful appetizer at your next gathering or as a satisfying snack any time of day! 🦀🧀🍅
