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.
