- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of almond milk
- 1/4 cup of water
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked crab meat, and finely chopped pickled peppers. Mix well and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, water, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Take 4 slices of pumpernickel bread and evenly distribute the crab and cheddar mixture on each slice. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to form sandwiches.
- Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
