For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning to the surimi before layering. If you prefer a creamier sandwich, you can mix the mayonnaise with a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as provolone or Swiss, to your liking. For a vegetarian option, replace the surimi with marinated artichoke hearts or grilled portobello mushrooms. Ensure the bread is slightly stale. This will prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
