Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh crab meat (cooked and picked)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons celery (finely diced)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces bread slices (preferably sourdough or baguette)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened, for spreading)
- 4 sprigs extra dill sprigs (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, and diced celery. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Step 2
Season the crab mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 3
Lightly spread both sides of each bread slice with softened unsalted butter.
Step 4
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Toast the bread slices for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 5
Remove the toasted bread from the pan and let it cool slightly.
Step 6
Spoon the crab mixture evenly onto each slice of toasted bread, spreading it out gently to cover most of the surface.
Step 7
Garnish each piece with an extra dill sprig for a fresh, decorative touch.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful dish!
