Crab Filling

Bun

Method

Prepare the Crab Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Chill the Filling

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Buns

  1. 3

    Toast the Buns

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the hot dog buns and toast them in the skillet until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Roll

    Remove the crab filling from the refrigerator. Generously spoon the chilled crab mixture into each toasted bun.

Serve

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the crab rolls on a plate with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the crab. Enjoy immediately.
