Ingredients

4 sheets phyllo pastry
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
8 ounces flaked crabmeat
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 English hothouse cucumber, cut into matchstick-size strips
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 teaspoons mango chutney

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface; cover remaining phyllo. Brush phyllo sheet with melted butter. Top with second phyllo sheet and brush with butter. Repeat layering 1 more time. Top with fourth phyllo sheet. Cut phyllo stack into 12 squares. Arrange squares on large baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 6 minutes. Cool completely.

    Step 2

    Mix crabmeat and next 4 ingredients in large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Step 3

    Mix cream, mustard and sour cream in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Store phyllo squares in airtight container. Cover crab mixture and mustard sauce separately and refrigerate.)

    Step 4

    Mix cucumber, dill and olive oil in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand 30 minutes.

    Step 5

    Place 1 phyllo square in center of each of 4 plates. Top each with 1/4 cup crab mixture, then 1/4 cup cucumber. Drizzle 1 teaspoon chutney over each. Repeat layering with phyllo square, crab mixture, cucumber and chutney. Top each with third phyllo square. Drizzle mustard sauce around stacks.
