Serves 8 | Prep Time 10 PT10M | Cook Time 20 PT30M | Broil/Grill

Why I Love This Recipe

Seemed like an interesting food that would be worth making. I would try it even though I don't like seafood


Ingredients You'll Need

8 small, round brioche or buttery dinner rolls, split crosswise

6 tablespoons truffle butter or unsalted butter, softened (see Note)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup minced red onion

1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/2 Granny Smith apple—quartered lengthwise, cored and thinly sliced crosswise

Several dashes of hot sauce

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over

1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese


Directions

Preheat the broiler. Spread the cut sides of the brioche with the truffle butter and set on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Broil the rolls 6 inches from the heat, until toasted. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees.


In a large bowl, mix the mayonnaise, red onion, parsley, lime juice, apple and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper. Fold in the crabmeat


Set the top halves of the rolls aside. Top the bottoms with the crab salad and sprinkle with the Gruyère. Bake in the upper third of the oven until the cheese is melted. Close the crab melts and serve

Chips or salad
