Crab Melt
I’m so excited to share one of my favorite recipes here on the blog!
This Crab Melt was inspired by something I ordered at a soup and salad restaurant. It’s one of those moments where you say ‘actually… this is pretty easy! I can make this myself!’ So I did.
It’s a cheap meal, that comes together in 30 minutes or less. I think it’s a great easy dinner that doesn’t heat up my kitchen in the summer months, but it’s also something you can freeze and eat for later- even in individualized plastic bags and then thaw in the morning before making one for lunch!
The combination of the crab, bacon, and avocado is hard to beat, but sandwich it between two slices and havarti cheese and then Sourdough bread? It’s the definition of savory goodness!
