  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Notes

For an extra crunch, consider adding a layer of thinly sliced cucumber to the sandwich. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the crab mixture. You can also substitute whole-grain or sourdough bread for a different flavor profile.
