Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup white crab meat
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons finely chopped red pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream (low fat is fine)
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of Monterey Jack cheese or Swiss cheese (or use Pepper Jack if you like a bit of spice)
a four or five inch slice of baguette or 2 or 3 pieces of sliced bread

Steps:

  • Put the French bread or ciabatta bread halves in the oven on a baking sheet at about 350°F (175°C) or under the broiler or grill for five minutes or until they are beginning to take on a bit of colour.
  • Meanwhile, mix the crab meat with the mustard, red pepper, and celery.
  • Add crème fraîche or sour cream as well as salt and pepper to taste. Mix together gently.
  • Divide the crab mixture between the pieces of bread and top with the cheese slices.
  • Return the crab and cheese topped bread to the oven for five to ten minutes, or place under the broiler or grill, until the cheese is bubbling and brown.
  • The cheese gets very hot, so allow these to cool a bit before serving one half of the panini or ciabatta to each person, or cutting into small pieces to serve as hors d'oeuvres.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked crab meat. Fresh crab meat is also delicious, but it takes more time to prepare.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water. However, white wine adds a delicious flavor to the sauce.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as chopped onion, celery, or bell pepper.
  • Serve the crab melts immediately, while they are still hot and bubbly. They are also delicious served cold.
  • For a healthier version, use whole-wheat bread or tortillas instead of white bread. You can also reduce the amount of butter or oil used.

Conclusion:

Mushroom crab melts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With their creamy sauce, savory crab meat, and crispy bread, mushroom crab melts are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
