    Simple and well balanced recipe. I had a jalapeno on hand (that needed to get used), so I used it to substitute for the Tabasco. This added a nice freshness and texture contrast, which I enjoyed. I served with some homemade poppy seed brioche rolls: http://instagr.am/p/H2cKmhncSE/

  • Made this yesterday and became some sort of a celeb in my circle :) Thanks, Jay <a href='http://minneapolislandscapingcompanies.com/'>Minneapolis Landscaping Companies</a>

  • Sounds great! Going to try it ~ but I think I'll mix everything well 'except' the crab ... then fold in the crab! Don't want to shred the lumps!

  • Havarti is wonderful on a crabby melt. I would at least double that recipe though, unless you want to be known on the picnic circuit as the one who makes chintzy sandwiches!
