- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp mayonnaise

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)
- Pick through the crab for shell fragments, then fold it with the mayonnaise, celery, scallions, lemon juice and Old Bay, keeping the lumps whole.
- Butter the split English muffins and toast them cut side up under the broiler for 2 minutes until the edges brown.
- Mound the crab mixture on each half, spreading it to the very edge so nothing burns.
- Blanket each one with cheddar.
- Broil 4 to 5 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is bubbling and blistered brown in spots and the filling is hot through.
- Grind pepper over the top and serve two halves per person with chips.
