Ingredients
- 10 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Crab meat, cooked and shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or mini tart pan.
Step 2
Place one phyllo sheet on a clean, dry surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter. Repeat the process until 5 sheets are layered.
Step 3
Cut the layered dough into 3-inch squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Step 4
Gently press each square into one of the muffin tin cups, forming a tart shell. Repeat with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo to create 12 tart shells in total.
Step 5
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and green onions. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Step 6
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crab mixture into each phyllo shell, spreading it out to fill the shell.
Step 7
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the tin before transferring them to a serving platter.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer. Enjoy!
