👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a medium bowl, gently mix crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onions, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently to preserve the crab's delicate texture.
2️⃣ Toast the Buns
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush insides of buns with melted butter. Toast on a baking sheet for 5 minutes until lightly golden. Or pan-toast on a skillet for a deeper crust.
3️⃣ Assemble the Crab Rolls
Let buns cool slightly. Spoon the creamy crab mixture into each bun generously. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
Serve immediately with crispy fries, coleslaw, or a fresh garden salad. Pair with a chilled glass of white wine or lemonade.
