Nana’s Crab Roll-Ups are creamy, cheesy, and buttery bread rolls filled with flaked crab meat. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or holiday spreads, these bite-sized appetizers are warm, indulgent, and always a hit.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 roll-ups

Ingredients

  • 24 slices white sandwich bread
  • 16 ounces processed cheese, cubed
  • 12 ounces crab meat, drained and flaked
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Trim the crusts off the bread slices and gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and processed cheese together, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the crab meat.
  4. Spread an even layer of the crab mixture onto each slice of bread.
  5. Roll the bread tightly into logs and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with sesame seeds.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until heated through and lightly golden.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
  • Try different toppings such as poppy seeds or everything seasoning instead of sesame seeds.
  • For a richer filling, fold in a spoonful of cream cheese with the melted cheese and butter.
