Cut into 12 even squares. 4 Place 1 square in each muffin cup. 5 In a medium mixing bowl, mix crabmeat, onion, dill, lemon peel, lemon juice, spreadable cheese and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until well mixed. 6 Spoon 1 tablespoon crabmeat mixture into each dough-lined cup. 7 Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges just begin to brown.
