Creamy Crabstick Toast: A Nostalgic Treat with a Flavorful Twist
Creamy Crabstick Toast: A Nostalgic Treat with a Flavorful Twist
Looking for a delightful snack for kids? Try this incredibly moist and flavorful Crabstick Toast, inspired by classic diner-style toast!
I was reminiscing about the simple, old-fashioned toast we used to make with just eggs and scallions, and as I was planning to recreate it, I spotted some crabsticks (surimi)! An idea struck me instantly: what if I added crabsticks to the mix? I was convinced it would elevate the flavor, so I quickly gathered the ingredients and set out to make Crabstick Toast, full of anticipation for how delicious it would turn out. And indeed, with just the addition of crabsticks, it transformed into a wonderfully soft and incredibly tasty toast with a subtle, savory seafood flavor. My younger son, however, found the carrots a bit overwhelming and wasn’t very hungry for it. Lucky me, I got to enjoy more! While I’m not usually a huge fan of carrots, I found them quite enjoyable in this preparation, adding a pleasant texture. This recipe takes the beloved classic diner-style toast and infuses it with the delicate taste of crabsticks, creating a nutritious and delicious snack that kids will love. Wishing you all a day filled with smiles~♡
Ingredients- 4 slices of bread
- 4 sticks of crabstick (surimi)
- 1/2 carrot
- 2 eggs
- Butter, for cooking
- Scallions or green onions, finely chopped
Seasoning- Salt or seasoned salt, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
- Sugar, to taste (optional)
- Salt or seasoned salt, to taste
- Pinch of black pepper
- Sugar, to taste (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently shred the crabsticks lengthwise with your fingers, following the natural grain. Avoid chopping them too finely; slightly larger pieces will provide a better texture.
Step 2
Wash and peel the carrot, then julienne it into thin matchsticks. Thinly sliced carrots will mix better with the egg batter and result in a softer texture.
Step 3
Finely mince the scallions or green onions. Their fresh aroma will add a lovely dimension to the toast.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, crack the two eggs. Season them with salt (or seasoned salt) and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk the eggs thoroughly with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Step 5
Add the shredded crabsticks, julienned carrots, and minced scallions to the seasoned egg mixture. Gently mix everything together until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Melt some butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the skillet and toast them until golden brown on both sides. The butter adds a wonderful flavor and crispiness.
Step 7
In the same skillet, add a bit more butter if needed, and pour the egg mixture generously to create a thick omelet-style patty. Cook over medium-low heat until the egg is fully cooked through.
Step 8
Carefully place the cooked egg patty on top of the toasted bread slices. If desired, sprinkle a little sugar over the egg for a touch of sweetness. This combination is reminiscent of classic diner toast.
Step 9
Serve the finished Crabstick Toast immediately on a plate. It’s best enjoyed warm and fresh!
