1 lb. crab meat
1 tbsp. chopped sweet pickle
1 tbsp. chopped onion
1 tbsp. chopped celery
3 tbsp. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
12 slices white bread

Remove any shell or cartilage from crab meat. Combine pickle, onion, celery, mayonnaise, seasonings, and crab meat. Combine egg, milk, and salt. Dip one side of each slice of bread in egg mixture. Place bread in a heavy frying pan which contains about 1/8 inch of fat, hot but not smoking. Fry at moderate heat until brown on one side. Drain on absorbent paper.

Spread plain side of 6 slices of bread with crab mixture; cover with remaining 6 slices of bread. Place on a well-greased cookie sheet, 15 1/2 x 12 inches. Heat in a moderate 350 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until heated through. Serves 6.
