Crab Cake Grilled Cheese Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Make the Crab Cakes

   In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Mix gently to combine without breaking the crab meat too much.

2. 2

   Form the Cakes

   Shape the mixture into patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter).

3. 3

   Cook the Crab Cakes

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sandwich

   On a slice of brioche, layer one slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a crab cake, a slice of pepper jack cheese, tomato slices, and a generous drizzle of remoulade sauce. Top with another slice of brioche.

5. 5

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the same skillet, melt more butter over medium heat. Grill the sandwich for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6. 6

   Serve

   Cut the sandwich in half and serve hot with extra remoulade sauce on the side.
