How to Make It
Step 1
Heat the oven to 375°F. Stir the mayonnaise, sour cream and black pepper in a medium bowl. Add the spinach, artichokes and crabmeat and mix lightly.
Step 2
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet into 3 (2 1/2-inch wide) strips. Discard the remaining pastry. Cut each pastry strip into 4 (2 1/2-inch) squares, making 12 in all. Press the pastry squares into 12 (1 3/4-inch) mini muffin-pan cups.
Step 3
Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons crab mixture into each pastry cup. Stir the bread crumbs, cheese and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon bread crumb mixture over each filled pastry.
Step 4
Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Top each with 1 sprig parsley before serving.
Recipe Tips
