Easy Crab Melts

This rich and delicious crab melt recipe makes a perfect party appetizer or simple dinner entree. Sweet lump crab meat is mixed together with savory cheeses and melted on fresh ciabatta bread.

Cook time: 18 minutes
Prep time: 5 minutes
Yields: 16 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 9

Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 4 - 5 green onions, minced (both green and white parts)
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pound fresh crab claw meat, canned
• 8 (4-inch) crusty ciabatta rolls (we used the square artisan sandwich rolls from Costco)
• Hot sauce for serving (optional)

How to cook:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place the shredded cheese, mayonnaise, green onions, and seasonings in a large mixing bowl. Stir together with a spatula until evenly combined.
3. Add the crab to the bowl and gently fold it in to the cheese mixture until combined.
4. Open each sandwich roll and place them cut side up on a large broiler-safe baking sheet. Divide the crab mixture evenly among each roll, using about 1/4 - 1/3 cup per slice. The crab mixture will be extremely thick and hard to "spread". Just use the spatula to gently pat it into an even layer on the bread.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. Turn your broiler on and continue to bake the crab melts for 2-3 more minutes. Watch very carefully, they will go from golden brown to burned quickly. The crab mixture should be hot and bubbly with a toasted-looking top.
7. Serve with your favorite hot sauce for a kick.

Notes: Quick and Easy Crab Melts - A Tasty Appetizer or Light Meal, Crab Melts are really satisfying with the crab meat and cheese; I serve half a slice of French bread or ciabatta per person.
