Method
Chop crabmeat. In small bowl, with fork, mix crabmeat, cheese, mayonnaise, dry mustard, Old Bay Seasoning and coarsely ground black pepper; set aside. Drain oil from tomatoes. In a food processor, process the tomatoes until they form a paste. Spread the paste on the split pitas or muffin halves; cut into wedges. Spread 1 heaping teaspoon crabmeat mixture on each English muffin wedge. Place on cookie sheets; top with cheese. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate. ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING: Preheat broiler. Broil about 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Top each crisper with a slice of ripe olive. Arrange crispers on a plate and garnish. Serve immediately.
