Creating these delectable Cheesy Crab Breadsticks is straightforward. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a perfect result every time:

Step 1: Prepare the Breadsticks

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking.

Step 2: Make the Cheesy Crab Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and cream cheese.
Add in the chopped chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Breadsticks

Spoon the cheesy crab mixture generously onto each breadstick, spreading it evenly across the top.
Sprinkle optional toppings such as chopped parsley or red pepper flakes over the breadsticks if desired.

Step 4: Bake the Breadsticks

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the breadsticks are golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Cheesy Crab Breadsticks warm for the best flavor.
