This Crab Cheese Melt takes comfort food to the next level with buttery brioche, melted cheddar, and a rich crab filling that’s creamy, savory, and full of flavor. The mix of Heron Point crab, shallots, and chives gives every bite a bright, coastal twist, while juicy tomato slices add the perfect balance. Golden, crisp, and perfectly gooey, this sandwich is everything a melt should be—simple, satisfying, and impossible to resist.
