The Chew: Cheesy Crab Toasts Recipe

The Chew: Cheesy Crab Toasts

After Clinton Kelly and Scandal‘s Bellamy Young whipped up a batch of Buffalo Cauliflower, Michael Symon had a delicious treat to share. Michael Symon saw a viral video dedicated entirely to melted cheese, that had more than 500,000 views. He was inspired to use melted cheese in a dish, also inspired by a classic tuna melt. Instead of tuna, he used delicious crab, and created Cheesy Crab Toasts. These toasts work great as an appetizer, lunch, or dinner! Melted cheese makes any dish that much better, so it’s not too surprising that this recipe is incredibly delicious.
