Crab Mixture

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Prepare the Crab Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the snow crab meat, cream cheese, lemon juice, capers, Old Bay seasoning, and zesty secret sauce. Mix gently until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Prepare the Sandwich

  1. 2

    Grill the Bread

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place the slices butter-side down on the skillet.

  2. 3

    Toast the Bread

    Grill the bread for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the slices, and toast the other side without butter for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the bread is toasted, remove from the skillet. Generously spread the crab mixture on one slice of bread, then top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices.
