SOURDOUGH CRAB MELT OVERVIEW
This is one of my submission for the Serious Foodies Foodblogger Challenge. I decided to use their Filipino Grill Spice Rub into my crab mixture. This was super bomb mixed with the mayonaise. I try to keep the recipe as simple to make when you crave a grilled cheese sandwich with a savory crab mixture.

THE BREAKDOWN
- 2 slices of Sourdough Bread – I used Trader Joe’s Cracked Whole Wheat Sourdough Bread to be a little fancy!
- Unsalted Butter – I used a pat but spread half one one bread, then the other half on the other bread.
- Imitation Crab – Sometimes it’s okay to be FAKE, JK!!! You can use fresh, canned, or immitation crab meat.
- Mayonnaise
-
Serious Foodie Filipino Grill Spice Rub
- Dried Parsley
-
Shredded Cheeses – I used Four Cheese Blend.
HOW TO MAKE THE CRAB MELT
In a bowl, mix together the crab, mayonnaise, Filipino spice rub, and parsley. Set aside.
Heat you pan over medium heat. Add half a pat of butter and let it melt.
Lay your first piece of sourdough bread on the pan. Then add a handful of shredded cheeses, then add the crab mixture. You may add another handful of shredded cheeses on top of the crab mixture. That’s what I did!
Place your second sourdough on top of the mixture. (I added a smear of mayonnaise on top to give a toasted look when you flip it over.) Toast the first side for about 2-3 minutes.
Add the other half of the butter to the pan. Flip your sandwich carefully then wait another 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden in color.
Serve your sandwich with Plantain Chips or my Oven Roasted Red Potato Wedges!
You may have left over crab mixture depending on how thick you want your sandwich to be. In that case, you can may my crab dip!
