OPEN-FACED CRAB SANDWICH



Open-Faced Crab Sandwich image

One weekend in Waccabuc, I was looking for something to snack on. I smeared some garlic aïoli on grilled slices of bread and topped it with some crab. It hit the spot, so I decided to turn it into a complete sandwich with a little chile and herbs. This is a great use of fennel fronds, which usually end up in the trash. Dill works just as well, too.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces picked peekytoe or lump crabmeat, picked over for bits of shell
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh long green (finger) chile
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh fennel fronds or dill leaves
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the bread
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large (3/4-inch-thick) slices artisan bread
Garlic Aïoli (page 245)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler or grill to high.
  • Gently stir together the crab, chile, fennel fronds, oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Drizzle olive oil all over the bread. Broil or grill until browned and crisp, turning to cook evenly.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons aïoli on each slice of bread and top with the crab mixture. Carefully cut each sandwich in half and serve with lemon wedges.

NORWEGIAN OPEN FACED SANDWICHES



Norwegian Open Faced Sandwiches image

My DBIL was born in Norway and really likes his heritage dishes to eat. This is his favorite lunch or snack. He uses all kinds of breads...except what he calls (American) Air Bread. When I have visited it appears his preference is Pumpernickel and Sourdough. My sister says that when they go to Norway to visit DBIL's lifelong friend...that the friend's wife serves these open-faced sandwiches all day long. Any kind of meat and cheese can be used...I'm simply mentioning those which my DBIL seems to eat the most often. At Norwegian parties I have attended the 'open faced' sandwiches were premade with various meats and cheeses and stacked beautifully on a large platter.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5m

Yield 2 sandwiches, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 slices bread
2 teaspoons butter
1 teaspoon mustard (DBIL usually uses either Spicy Brown or Dijon)
2 slices cooked meat
1 slice jarlsberg cheese
pickle
olive

Steps:

  • Butter each slice of bread with half the butter.
  • Spread half the mustard on top of each buttered slice of bread.
  • Lay a slice of meat on top of the 2 slices of bread.
  • Lay half the cheese on top of the meat.
  • Serve with the Pickles and olives on the side.
  • This makes 2 topless sandwiches which is what 'open faced' means.
  • Can be sliced in half if bread is too large or eaten with a knife and fork.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: Any type of bread can be used for open-faced sandwiches, but some breads are better suited than others. Sturdy breads, such as rye, pumpernickel, or sourdough, can hold up to hearty toppings. Lighter breads, such as white or wheat bread, are better for delicate toppings.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings: Open-faced sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Almost anything can be used as a topping, from meats and cheeses to vegetables and fruits. Get creative and have fun!
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sandwich will taste. If you can, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Make it a meal: Open-faced sandwiches can be served as a light lunch or dinner. Add a side salad or soup to make it a more complete meal.
  • Presentation is important: Open-faced sandwiches are a visual dish, so take some time to arrange the toppings attractively. This will make your sandwich even more enjoyable to eat.

Conclusion:

Open-faced sandwiches are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create an endless variety of open-faced sandwiches that will please everyone at your table.
