Uh-oh. Looks like I’ve entered an eating contest. It wonโt be for hot dogs. It wonโt be for pie and itโs not for chicken wings.
This eating contest wonโt be with me as a contestant either. Instead, Iโll be on the other side of the table, as a judge. And I wonโt be judging others eating. Nope, itโll be me and a select few who will be doing all of the tasting.
This June I’ll be reprising my role as a judge at the Wisconsin Cheese Academyโs Grilled Cheese Recipe Showdown. And loving every crumb of it.
Now, if you havenโt yet entered a recipe that will put me into a dead faint that has me dropped straight into a wheelbarrow and wheeled out the door, now is the time.
With the chance to win a $10,000 grand prize package, itโs probably worth a spin at this game of grilled cheese recipe roulette.
So letโs play!
It’s still grilled cheese month, and I’m still in the mood to melt.
Sometimes I find myself creating grilled cheese sandwiches that are a tad over the top, whether itโs based on my favorite salad or a riff on the classic BLT.
But this time around Iโm going with just 3 ingredients to create a simple and utterly craveable bite between two slices of buttery toasted sourdough.
This sandwich is my dadโs favorite. He gets it every time we meet for lunch, at a local seafood restaurant where the crab is always fresh and the sourdough freshly baked. And bonus part, he always picks up the bill. Now thatโs a great dad.
I used creamy Havarti for todayโs version, but a lighter white cheese like baby Swiss or even a Monterey Jack will sub in just fine.
The sweetness of snow crab is key. Dungeness, as long as itโs sweet, would work too but plan on a meatier, sturdier bite rather than the delicate snowy crab flavors that meld so well with creamy avo and melty white cheese.
Pondering king crab? Iโd probably save it for dunking solo with butter thanks to the saltier flavor thatโs just too much for this delicate flower of a sandwich.
Bottom line? Grilled cheese is happy food.
Crab and Avocado Grilled Cheese
PrintIngredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 slices Havarti cheese
- ยฝ avocado pitted and sliced
- 8 ounces fresh snow crab meat
- 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
Instructions
- Spread ยฝ tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of the bread, then stack buttered sides together. Cut the Havarti slices in half and layer 1 half slice on top of each bread stack, then a few slices of avocado, then half of the snow crab on each bread stack then the remaining Havarti cheese slices. Place bread buttered side down in a fry pan over medium heat. Cover with a lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden.

Wow! These look so amazing!! I actually did something similar to the 2nd one for a grilled cheese competition I placed 1st in last month, but it was with peaches and bacon on cinnamon swirl bread and then maple syrup for dipping. (With Brie)๏ปฟ
