Jonah Crab BLT Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Jonah crab meat (cooked, picked, and cleaned)
  • 8 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
  • 8 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy
  • 4-6 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg)
  • 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Butter or olive oil for toasting the bread

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Jonah Crab Meat: Ensure the Jonah crab meat is cooked, picked, and cleaned. If necessary, gently shred any larger pieces to ensure a consistent texture.

  2. Make the Lemon-Dijon Mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the lemon-Dijon mayo.

  3. Toast the Bread: Lightly butter or brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil. Place the bread slices, oiled side down, on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium heat. Toast the bread until it becomes golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  4. Assemble the Jonah Crab BLT: Spread a generous amount of the lemon-Dijon mayo on the untoasted side of the bread. Layer the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, crispy bacon strips, and a generous amount of Jonah crab meat.

  5. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet Jonah crab meat, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes in this delightful twist on the classic BLT sandwich.
