Ingredients

  • 200 grams Fresh crab meat
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 60 grams Almond flour
  • 60 grams Cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 Lettuce leaves
  • 1 Tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a tangy dressing.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, mayonnaise, green onion, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined, being careful to keep the crab meat chunky.

Step 3

To make the low-carb bread substitute, in a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cream cheese, and almond flour. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, forming a round shape similar to a pancake. Cook until set, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter to make a second round.

Step 5

Place one egg round on a plate, top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and heat until the cheese begins to melt.

Step 6

Spread half of the crab mixture evenly over the melted cheese, then layer it with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.

Step 7

Top the sandwich with the second egg round, pressing gently to hold everything in place.

Step 8

Heat a grill pan over medium heat and add the remaining butter. Carefully place the assembled crab sandwich on the grill and press down slightly. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side or until there are grill marks and the sandwich is warmed through.

Step 9

Remove from heat, slice the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately.
