CRAB & AVOCADO SANDWICH

Crab & Avocado Sandwich image

This is so good! And very adaptable to your own tastes or to what you have available in your kitchen (the best part is the taste of crab & avocado together!). I first tried it at a restaurant 20+ years ago and have been making it at home ever since. I like it just the way I've posted but you can sub any type of bread, any type of crab, use avocado dip instead of fresh slices, and your choice of condiments. You can also melt the cheese for a couple of minutes under the broiler for a hot sandwich. Have fun!

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 onion roll, halved
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 fresh avocado, sliced
2 -3 imitation crab legs, halved lengthwise
1 slice swiss cheese
1/4 cup bean sprouts

Steps:

Spread mayo and mustard on both sides of the onion roll.
Top one slice of the roll with avocado slices and crab, then the cheese slice; if you're going to melt the cheese, now is the time.
Top the other slice of roll with bean sprouts, put sandwich together and enjoy!

Tips:

Choose fresh and ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch, with no bruises or dark spots. Ripe avocados will yield easily to gentle pressure.
Use good quality crab meat: Fresh or frozen crab meat can be used in this sandwich. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
Make sure the mayonnaise is cold: Cold mayonnaise will help to keep the sandwich from getting too soggy.
Toast the bread lightly: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the sandwich fillings.
Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add other toppings to your sandwich, such as bacon, tomato, or cucumber.
