How to Make Open Faced Crab Sandwich

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Toast one side of 2 slices of your favorite bread under the broiler until golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup lump crab meat, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions, 1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Do not overmix.
  4. Place the toasted bread slices, toasted-side down, on a baking sheet.
  5. Spread the crab mixture evenly onto the untoasted side of each bread slice.
  6. Top each with 2 slices of crispy cooked bacon and 1 slice of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère recommended).
  7. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
