Break or cut apart the english muffin halves and arrange on a cookie sheet cut side up, in rows. Spoon even amounts of crabmeat over the surface, until the bowl is empty. It should be a little chunky. Sprinkle the grated cheeses over the top, and cook in your oven like you are making a tuna melt. I preheat my convection oven to 400. A standard oven temp, would be 425.

Bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes before you want to serve them. Using a pizza cutter, wheel through the middle of the english muffin halves, making an X, creating 4 pieces from one muffin half. These triangles are easy to pick up, and if you have used the proportions I give here, usually are not so messy that you can't pick them up and eat them with your fingers.
