Deviled Crab And Biscuit Cups

This Pillsbury recipe definitely caught my attention. I don't think I have every made anything with crab. This sounds like a good recipe to try for a social event. I'm sure you could even be creative and change the filling and serve different options.

Deviled Crab And Biscuit Cups

Ingredients:

3/4 cup whipped cream cheese spread

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon red pepper sauce

1/4 cup finely shredded mild cheddar cheese (1 oz)

2 tablespoons chopped green onions (2 medium)

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 cup garlic herb bread crumbs

3 cans (6 oz each) white crabmeat, well drained

1 cup chopped celery

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 16 regular size muffin cups with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix cream cheese, lemon juice, pepper sauce, cheddar cheese, onions, paprika, bread crumbs, crabmeat, and celery until well blended. Separate dough into 8 biscuits; then peel in half to make 16 biscuits. Press or roll each into 5 inch round. Place 1 biscuit round in each muffin cup; firmly press in bottom and up side, forming 1/4 inch rim over edge of cup. Place 2 tablespoons crab mixture in bottom of each muffin cup. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until filling is set and edges of biscuits are golden brown. Sprinkle each with chopped parsley; lightly press into filling. Remove biscuit cups from pan; serve immediately.
