Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or to taste)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices of bread (preferably sourdough or white)
- Butter (for spreading on bread)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crab meat, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and green onions. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Spread a generous amount of the crab mixture on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up, on top to form sandwiches.
- Grill the sandwiches in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat and slice diagonally. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- If you like it spicier, add more sriracha sauce or even a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture.
- For a healthier version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or low-fat cream cheese.
- These melts can also be served as sliders by using smaller bread slices and halving the portions.
