Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh crab meat
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pieces sourdough bread slices
- 2 teaspoons butter, softened
- 2 pieces Swiss cheese slices
- 1 cup mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, chopped chives, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each sourdough bread slice. Place the slices, buttered side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Divide the crab mixture evenly between the two slices of bread, spreading it out to cover the top.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese over the crab mixture on each piece of bread.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the bread is toasted on the bottom.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Top each sandwich with a small handful of mixed greens for added freshness and enjoy immediately.
