Ingredients

• 8 ounces Lump crab meat
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 8 slices Sourdough bread, sliced
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much. Set the mixture aside.

Step 2

Lay out the sourdough bread slices on a clean surface. Evenly spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter on one side of each slice.

Step 3

Flip the slices over so the unbuttered side is facing up. On four of the slices, evenly distribute the shredded cheddar and Gruyere cheese.

Step 4

Spoon the crab mixture over the cheese, dividing it evenly among the four slices. Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet, working in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook each sandwich for 3-5 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy.

Step 7

Flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 8

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing them in half and serving.
