"Summertime and the Cookin' is Easy" week continues with these wonderful
open-faced sandwiches. They are quick and easy to put together, and the
vacationing cook could even prepare the components in advance and let
everyone assemble and cook their own when the urge strikes.

Crab Sandwiches

1 small can (6 oz, 170 g) crab meat, drained
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
4 green onions (scallions, white and green parts), finely chopped
1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped mushrooms
1 tsp (5 ml) caraway seed
4 Tbs (60 ml) mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 slices bread
8 slices bacon, fried crisp and drained
1/2 cup (125 ml) grated Cheddar cheese

Combine the crab meat, celery, scallions, mushrooms, caraway, mayonnaise,
salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Toast the
bread on one side under the broiler. Spread the crab mixture on the
untoasted side, top with the bacon and the Cheddar cheese, and heat
under the broiler until the cheese is melted. Serves 4.
