How to Make New England Crabby Melts
- Preheat your broiler.
- In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers (cored and seeded), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce. Pulse until finely chopped.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil until a smooth sauce forms.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat, 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (or seafood seasoning of your choice), 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, and 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions.
- Add the red pepper dressing to the crab mixture and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Lightly butter two English muffins and toast them briefly under the broiler until golden brown.
- Top each toasted English muffin with a small handful of watercress.
- Spoon the crab salad evenly onto the watercress.
- Top each with 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
- Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the broiler and serve immediately. Enjoy!
