Create a delicious and satisfying bagel open sandwich filled with succulent crab meat and crisp cabbage! This recipe is perfect for a simple yet elegant meal or brunch.
Main Ingredients- 1 Bagel
- 1 Handful of fresh cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Small piece of carrot, finely julienned
- 1 Stick of imitation crab meat (or lobster meat), shredded
- 2 Slices of processed cheese
- 2 Slices of fresh tomato
Seasoning & Sauce- 2 Tbsp Basil pesto
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Basil pesto
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh cabbage thoroughly and pat it dry. Then, thinly shred it into fine strips. This step ensures a wonderfully crisp texture in your salad.
Step 2
Next, julienne the carrot and finely chop the onion. Shred the imitation crab meat into long strands by hand; this preserves its texture and makes it more appealing. Combine the shredded vegetables and crab meat in a bowl.
Step 3
Now, let’s add the delightful dressing to our mixture. Add 4 tablespoons of creamy mayonnaise to the bowl with the vegetables and crab meat. Mix everything together gently until well combined. (A pinch of black pepper can be added for extra flavor if desired.)
Step 4
Slice the bagel in half. Spread a generous layer of fragrant basil pesto onto the cut sides of each bagel half. Place the pesto-coated bagel halves on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven until lightly golden. The pesto will toast beautifully, enhancing the aroma. (Alternatively, you can toast the bagel halves first and then spread the pesto.)
Step 5
Once the bagels are toasted and fragrant, place a slice of savory cheese on top of each half. Then, arrange the fresh tomato slices attractively over the cheese. The cheese will melt slightly, helping to bind the ingredients together.
Step 6
Finally, generously pile the prepared crab meat salad mixture on top of the tomato and cheese. Your delicious Crab Meat Bagel Open Sandwich is now ready to be enjoyed! Serving it warm allows the flavors to meld perfectly.
