This warm and cheesy sandwich combines summer shellfish with comforting ingredients for an easy sandwich recipe. By choosing high-quality ingredients and following a few simple steps, you’ll be able to make a mouthwatering crab melt that’s sure to impress your friends and family this summer. Pair with fries or a side salad for a more complete meal.
A melt is a grilled cheese, but a grilled cheese isn’t always a melt. The main difference between the two is the addition of other ingredients than cheese in a melt. One popular version of a melt is a tuna melt and another a patty melt made with a hamburger patty sandwiched between the bread.
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
The crab salad can be made up to two days in advance. Then, after the ingredients are combined, cover or add to an airtight container and store refrigerated. Assemble the sandwich as directed when ready to serve.
