Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Crab meat
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 stalk Celery
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Finely chop the celery and green onions and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped celery, and green onions.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to evenly combine all ingredients.
Lay out the sourdough bread slices and butter one side of each slice.
Turn the bread slices over so the unbuttered side is facing up. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each of two slices of bread.
Spread a generous amount of the crab mixture on top of the cheese, then add tomato slices and lettuce leaves.
Top with another slice of cheddar cheese and then close the sandwiches with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing up.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the pan and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the grill, cut in half, and serve immediately.
