12 ounces (340 g) lump crab meat, drained

Pick crab over carefully to remove shell and cartilage bits, taking care not
to break up large lumps, and place in a medium bowl. Add celery, parsley,
green onion, mayonnaise and half the cheese. Stir gently to combine.
Divide crab mixture evenly among the four toasted English muffin halves
and spread evenly. Sprinkle each with

the sandwiches on the prepared baking tray. Broil until golden, toasty, hot,
and cheese is melted, about 4 to 5 minutes.
