For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of Old Bay seasoning or a dash of hot sauce to the crab mixture.

These bites can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve.
-
If you want a more decadent version, try adding a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese to the filling.
