Crab Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 English muffins
8 ounces crabmeat, cooked
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 onion, medium, chopped
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated plus more for topping
paprika

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F.
Split english muffins, and place on a greased baking sheet.
Combine crab, mayo, and onion. Mix until completely combined. (You may add more or less mayo depending on how \"wet\" you like this mixture.).
Taste, and add salt and pepper as necessary.
Spread crab mixture evenly over the muffin halves.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the flour, and whisk to combine. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Stir in milk, and whisk to keep lumps from forming.
When milk is hot (DO NOT BOIL), add the cheese, continuing to stir constantly, until the cheese is fully melted, and the sauce thickens.
Taste, and add salt and pepper as necessary.
Top the muffins with the sauce.
Sprinkle with extra cheese to taste, and with paprika for color.
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is golden and bubbly.
Serve immediately.
