Elevate your seafood game with these irresistible Seafood Cheese Melts, a quick and delicious way to indulge in the flavors of the ocean. Featuring a creamy mixture of tender shrimp, succulent lump crab meat, tangy Dijon mustard, and zesty Old Bay seasoning, these open-faced melts are piled high on toasted sourdough bread and crowned with a gooey blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Ready in just 20 minutes, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or casual entertaining. Broiled to golden, bubbly perfection, these cheesy seafood toasts pair wonderfully with a crisp salad or a squeeze of fresh lemon for a restaurant-quality meal at home.
Preheat your oven to broil on high and position a rack in the upper third of the oven.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread and place them buttered side down on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Distribute the seafood mixture evenly across the 4 slices of bread, spreading it to cover the surface.
Top each slice with a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese, dividing the cheeses evenly among the slices.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and watch closely. Broil for 3–5 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the seafood cheese melts cool for 1–2 minutes.
Serve warm with a side of lemon wedges or a small salad for a complete meal.
