Instructions

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.

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.

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.
