Crab & Surimi Delight with Sweet Chili Drizzle

Ingredients

- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces cooked crab meat
- 4 ounces surimi, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 8 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked crab meat, and surimi.
- Stir in the finely chopped green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, ground white pepper, and lime juice.
- Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a creamy filling.

2. Assemble the Bread:
- Spread the prepared crab and surimi mixture evenly over 4 slices of white bread.
- Top each with another slice of bread, pressing down gently to form a sandwich.

3. Preheat the Pan:
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

4. Pan Fry the Sandwiches:
- Once the butter is hot and bubbling, carefully add the sandwiches to the skillet.
- Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Be sure to monitor closely to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

5. Serve the Dish:
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Cut each sandwich diagonally into triangles.
- Drizzle sweet chili sauce generously over the top before serving.

6. Presentation Tip:
