Continuing my culinary journey with the leftover sauces from my Black Pepper Crab and Chili Crab ventures, I decided to acquire more crab meat and embark on this new recipe. If you've already caught a glimpse of my Black Pepper Crab and Chili Crab Fried Pizzas, and the idea of making pizza dough feels a bit overwhelming, then this recipe is your ultimate shortcut.
Black Pepper Crab...
Imagine indulging in a scrumptious crab-packed brunch without the need for extensive prep. This dish offers a hassle-free way to satisfy your crab cravings. And the best part? It's remarkably straightforward to assemble. I've even crafted two delectable variations of Singapore's beloved crab dishes, right on a bed of toast: Black Pepper and Chili Crab.
Or Chili Crab...
Personally, the Black Pepper rendition takes the crown for me. Without further ado, let's delve into the recipe and savor the goodness!
