Ingredients

For the Biscuit Base

1 pack Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix The foundation of the dish; use other biscuit mixes if preferred.
2 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor; substitute with garlic powder if fresh isn't available.
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Provides herby notes; substitute with a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme.

For the Crab Filling

1 cup Lump Crab Meat The main star of the dish; freshly cooked, drained crab works beautifully.
1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adds depth; feel free to use fresh onion.
1 teaspoon Paprika Adds slight smokiness and color; cayenne can be used for added heat.
1 tablespoon Mustard Offers tanginess; Dijon works wonderfully.
1/2 cup Mayonnaise Contributes creaminess; Greek yogurt can provide a lighter option.
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Enhances richness; Pecorino Romano makes a great substitute.
1 cup Ritz Crackers Provides texture; any buttery cracker or plain breadcrumbs can do the trick.

For the Lemon Butter Glaze

1/4 cup Butter The base for a rich glaze; make sure it's melted and ready.
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens the flavor; fresh is best.

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin by mixing the Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix according to the package instructions.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two muffin tins with nonstick spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, paprika, onion powder, mustard, mayonnaise, and crushed Ritz crackers. Stir until well-blended.
Scoop out a generous portion of the biscuit dough and shape it into a cup, adding the crab mixture.
Position each biscuit cup in the greased muffin tray, spaced apart for even baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean.
Melt some butter and mix in fresh lemon juice. Brush this glaze over each warm biscuit.
Remove biscuits from the muffin tray, let them cool slightly, and serve warm.
