With a touch of Sriracha for heat and Kewpie mayo for richness, this melt is perfect for anyone craving a quick and easy dinner or appetizer.
Ingredients
- For the Crab Salad:
- 5 oz lump crab meat
- 2 scallions sliced
- 3 tbsp whipped or regular cream cheese
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha
- 1 ½ tbsp Kewpie mayo
- Furikake for topping
- 1 tsp sweet chili sauce
- For the Rest:
- Brioche bread or any bread you prefer
- Mozzarella cheese
- Red pepper flakes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Butter for melting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- In a bowl, combine all the crab salad ingredients and mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste, depending on how creamy or spicy you prefer it.
- Add melted mozzarella cheese to two slices of brioche bread. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned slightly.
- Scoop the crab salad onto the cheesy bread slices and close to form a sandwich.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwich and cook, pressing down with a lid until the other side of the bread is browned and the cheese and crab salad have melted together.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, toast the bread lightly before adding the cheese.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less Sriracha to the crab salad.
- This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or fries.
