Baltimore Crab Pretzel Sticks Recipe 455

Steps:

• For the crab dip: In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, zest and salt, pepper and Old Bay seasoning to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. For the pretzels: Preheat oven to 450F. Divide pizza dough into 8 portions, then roll each portion into a thick rope. Brush each one with beaten egg, then bake for 10 minutes until just about golden brown. Do not bake completely or your pretzels will be too hard. Remove pretzels from the oven and allow to cool completely. Layer each pretzel with a thick layer of crab salad, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese, pressing in to adhere. Preheat broiler to high and return pretzels to the oven about 6 inches from the flame. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden-brown. Remove from oven, garnish with chives and serve while hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, and horseradish in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in garlic, onion, lemon juice, and hot pepper sauce. Gently fold in the crabmeat, and season with white pepper to taste. Spoon mixture evenly over the pretzels, and sprinkle each with 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
• Place pretzels in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the topping is bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients. Split muffins. Spread each half with mixture. Put on cookie sheet and in freezer for one hour. Then cut into 6ths. Put under broiler for about 2 minutes
