Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich
November 3, 2015 | Grilled, Sandwich, Crab, Gruyere, 52 Weeks of Cooking
I recently bought a large can of lump crab meat for a crab cake recipe where I only needed about half of the can. Unsure what to do with the remaining crab, and the weekly challenge being sandwiches, I decided to see what happened when I combined the two.
And I ended up with this. In all of its deliciously cheesy crabby goodness.

SaltyInstructions
- Combine the crab meat with the mayonnaise, Gruyere, onion, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.
- Spread the crab filling over one slice of sour dough. Grate additional Gruyere over the crab and place a second slice on top to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining crab and slices of bread.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan then add the sandwiches, one at a time (or in pairs in larger pans). Grill 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes or until the bread is browned and the crab is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
