Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
Crab Rangoon Topping
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz crab meat, drained and flaked
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Finishing Sauce
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a crispy crust and perfectly melted cheese.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, flaked crab meat, garlic powder, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
- Assemble the pizza: Place the pre-made pizza crust on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the crab and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Add finishing touches: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the sweet chili sauce over the top. Garnish with the remaining sliced green onions for a fresh, mild crunch.
- Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh crab meat for a more flavorful topping.
- If unavailable, imitation crab meat can be used, but the taste will vary slightly.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your preference for sweetness and heat.
- Adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes can provide extra spice if desired.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
