oops. I made this over a month ago and forgot to review it. Let me say- I love a crab melt more than just about anything and I have had them in some of the finest restaurants from New York to San Francisco. This one is just as good as the best ones I have had. As a matter of fact... the crab mixture alone would be excellent as a crab dip with crackers. I adored this sandwich. Surprisingly, it was my first time to make one. I like to indulge myself on vacations and I scour the city I am visiting for the best crab melt in town. Some people visit museums on vacation... I look for crab melts! A real winner you have here. Oh yeah- I toasted the bread before assembling the sandwiches.
