Calories: 297kcal
Ingredients
- 12 slices sandwich bread white or wheat
- 2 tbsp butter divided
For The Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 3-4 oz imitation crab meat
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 2-3 dashed Worcestershire sauce
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- pinch salt
- pinch sugar
- scant 1/8 tsp white pepper
Instructions
- Add all of the filling ingredients to a medium sized mixing bowl.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients together until smooth & creamy.
- Melt butter on a griddle over medium heat.
- Add 1/3 cup of filling mixture to a slice of bread, spreading out to the edges. Top with another piece of bread.
- Add the sandwich to the hot griddle, and cook until the bottom's golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the sandwich, and cook until the other side's also golden brown and crispy and the filling is warm and melty. Transfer the sandwich to a waiting plate.
- Repeat until all the grilled cheese sandwiches are done.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Whip the filling ingredients together using a hand mixer, it easily flakes apart the crab while mixing. So much easier than faking with a fork and then stirring with a sturdy spoon!
- Watch carefully while the sandwiches are cooking to prevent burning.
- Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger family or crowd.
