Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Crabmeat and mayonnaise were the base of one of Grandma's best party appetizers: She combined the crabmeat, mayonnaise, cream cheese, hoisin and sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl. Then she spooned the mixture onto bread rounds or sliced French bread and baked the appetizers at 375°F until the mixture was puffed and golden.
