Note
For a richer flavor, you can substitute regular mayonnaise for the fat-free version.
If using real crab meat, ensure it is picked over for any shell fragments before mixing.
These sandwiches are best served fresh but can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
You can add a dash of hot sauce or Old Bay seasoning to the crab mixture for extra zest.
