Gotta Love Leftovers! 2

You have got to love July here in the NW.  Long summer nights, king salmon fishing is on fire, the tuna are showing up just off the coast and dungeness crab are plentiful.  In the case of the dungy, the real thrill of getting a few of these tasty critters is getting them home and sitting down to a nice heaping plate of fresh crab.  What do you do though when you have leftovers?  My wife came up with a suggestion the other night that, after trying it, will make a regular appearence at the Tobeck house.  Kowing how much I love my tuna melts, Sonya decided to make up some crab melts and man were they tasty!

This recipe will make four servings:

• 2 English Muffins halved.
• 2 tbsp mayo, we like to use the olive oil mayo as it is half the calories and all the taste and with this recipe every little bit helps.
• 1/2 small stick of butter, softened.
• Green onion diced.
• 2 tbsp minced garlic.
• 1/2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning.
• 6-7 ounces of crab meat.
• 6-7 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese.

Hand mix mayo, butter, onion, garlic, and Old Bay.  Add cheese and crab and continue to mix.  Bake at 350 until cheese melts and then brown under the broiler.  Enjoy!!

One of the great things about living here in the NW is all of our great eating seafood, try this recipe and some of our others listed on the Resource Line under Recipes.
