Test Kitchen Tip
Premium canned or pasteurized crabmeat is usually found near the seafood or refrigerated sections of most grocery stores.
Instructions
Preheat broiler to high with rack 6 inches from element.
Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Arrange toast on a baking sheet, buttered-sides up; broil until golden, about 2 minutes, then cool.
Combine crab, mayonnaise, celery, scallions, celery leaves, zest, tarragon, and Old Bay for the crab salad; season with salt, pepper, and Tabasco.
Layer lettuce on the untoasted sides of two bread slices, then top each with two slices tomato, one cup crab salad, half the avocado slices, and two strips of bacon; top each with another bread slice, toasted side up.
For the perfect combination of soft and crunchy, only toast the bread on one side.
To keep the sandwiches from becoming soggy, lightly blot the tomatoes on paper towels.
