Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Lump crab meat
- 4 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Sourdough bread, slices
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, grated sharp cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until thoroughly combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices on a flat surface. Evenly divide the crab mixture between two slices of bread, spreading it to cover the surface but leaving a slight edge around the perimeter.
Top each filled slice with the remaining sourdough slices to form two sandwiches.
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on the outside of each sandwich, covering both the top and bottom slices of bread.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches onto the hot skillet, buttered side down.
Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice in half and serve warm!
