Ingredients 

Crab Toast

Easy Tartar Sauce

  • ½ cup kewpie mayo
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • If crab meat is wet, squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a cheese cloth or paper towel. In a bowl, add crab meat, salt, white pepper, sugar, garlic, scallions, sesame seeds, egg whites, mayo, and corn starch and mix until well incorporated.
    10 oz cooked real crab meat, ½ tsp salt, Dash of white pepper, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1 clove garlic, 1 stalk scallion, 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, 3 egg whites, 2 Tbsp kewpie mayo, 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • Trim all the crust from white bread. Add ⅓ of the crab paste to the bread and spread evenly. Cover with another piece of white bread and press gently to flatten the sandwich. Use a butter knife to smooth the edges so the filling doesn’t fall out. Repeat with remaining bread and crab paste.
    6 pieces buttermilk white bread
  • Put sandwiches into air fryer basket then generously spray both sides of bread with avocado oil spray. Air fry at 375°F for 6 minutes on each side (12 minutes total) without overcrowding (batch cook if needed). Serve with easy tartar sauce.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
  • Use real crab meat for this recipe as it tastes better with the toast
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can make the toast then deep fry in hot oil for 2-3 mins per side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack.
