crabby grilled cheese sandwich
This creation came from a combination of two recipes from two different local restaurants. I love all things seafood and cheese and what a fabulous combination these kinds of seafood make when together. Sometimes, right around Father's Day, I can get Alaska King Crab legs at the store for $10-$12 a lb. That's almost a steal! This grilled cheese will rise up to be one of your favorite grilled sandwiches... I can almost promise.

You won't get crabby after one bite of this lovely sandwich. You'll feel like you are eating lunch at a fancy seaside restaurant. Sourdough is a great choice for bread. Crispy and chewy, it pairs well with the creamy and tangy flavors of the cream cheese mixture. Sherry's seafood mix has a very mild flavor that complements the cream cheese. Swiss cheese adds a hint of sweetness. You're gonna love this sandwich!
