Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup crab meat, well-drained (or imitation crab)
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- Sweet chili sauce or garlic chili oil, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, sugar, and crab meat. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
- Spread the crab filling on 4 slices of sourdough bread, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
- Butter the outsides of each sandwich generously.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve warm with sweet chili sauce or garlic chili oil on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use imitation crab for a more budget-friendly option—it still delivers great flavor.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha for a spicy kick.
- Try different breads like brioche, ciabatta, or French bread for variety.
- Mix in herbs such as dill or chives for a fresh flavor boost.
- To make ahead, prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
