PORTOBELLO CRAB OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES

Portobello Crab Open-Faced Sandwiches image

A roasted red pepper sauce tops this hearty sandwich with a yummy crab filling. With almost no saturated fat, this is light because the mayonnaise has been replaced with non-fat plain yogurt, and it's served on only half a bun! -Rosalind Pope, Greensboro, North Carolina
