Notes

  • For the best flavor, serve these sandwiches with warm crab cakes. If you are using crab cakes you made in advance, simply lay them out on a tray and heat at 325° until warmed through.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately to avoid a soggy bun.
  • Make the aioli you choose in advance so it has time to chill and the flavors meld together.
