Main Ingredients

Old Bay Aioli

For Grilling

Method

Prepare the Old Bay Aioli

  1. 1

    Make the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Cook the Bacon

  1. 2

    Fry the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Assemble the Crab BLT Melt

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On two slices of bread, spread a generous amount of the Old Bay aioli. Top with fresh crab meat, crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, and sliced tomato. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Grill the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread butter on the outer sides of the assembled sandwiches. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve

  1. 5

    Enjoy Your Meal

    Once grilled to perfection, remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with extra Old Bay aioli on the side if desired.
