Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich
A delectable combination of lump crab meat, melted Gruyere cheese, and savory seasonings grilled between slices of sourdough bread for a crispy, gooey, and flavor-packed sandwich.
Ingredients
- 2 cups lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- ¼ cup gruyere shredded
- ¼ cup onion chopped
- ¼ teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 4 tablespoons butter + more as needed
- 4 thick-cut slices sourdough bread + more as needed
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Gruyere, onion, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and parsley. Make sure all the ingredients are well mixed.
- Spread the crab filling over one slice of sourdough bread. Grate additional Gruyere over the crab and place a second slice of bread on top to create a sandwich. Repeat this step with the remaining crab filling and slices of bread.
- In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, add the sandwiches one at a time (or in pairs if using a larger pan).
- Grill the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Then, carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is browned, the crab is cooked through, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the pan and let them cool for a moment. Finally, slice and serve them hot. Enjoy!
