Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 slices Sigona’s Moo-Na Lisa Cheese Bread
- Butter or olive oil for brushing
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise more or less to taste
- 3/4 tsp. fresh lemon zest from about half a lemon; don't skimp on this part!
- 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill plus more for garnish
- 1 to 1 1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning or similar seafood seasoning blend to taste
- 3 green onions sliced
- 2 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced
- At least 1 cup shredded Gruyere divided, such as Moo-Na Lisa (found only at Sigona’s!), more if desired
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- About 12 to 16 oz. fresh crab meat drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Preheat broiler to low.
- Lightly brush the bread slices with oil or butter. Place on the baking sheet and toast under the broiler for about 1 to 2 minutes until lightly toasted. Flip and toast the other side, if desired. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together the mayo, lemon zest, dill, seasoning, green onions, tomatoes, half the cheese, and salt. Gently fold in the crab.
- Divide the crab mixture among the toasted bread slices. Sprinkle remaining cheese on the top and return to the broiler to allow the cheese to melt (about 1 to 2 minutes).
- Garnish crab melts with chopped fresh dill; salt and pepper are optional. Serve immediately, sliced or whole.
