Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise; 1 large egg; 1 tsp coarse ground mustard; 1/2 cup crushed crackers; 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning; 2 tbsp chives, chopped; 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional alternative); 1 lb cooked lump crab meat; 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, for coating; 2 tbsp olive oil, for frying; Remoulade sauce, for serving (optional)

1

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, egg, coarse ground mustard, crushed crackers, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped chives.

2

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

3

Gently fold in the cooked crab meat, being careful not to break up the lumps too much.

4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a ring mold, sprinkle a layer of panko breadcrumbs on the bottom.

5

Scoop the crab mixture into the mold on top of the panko and gently press down to form an even patty.

6

Sprinkle more panko breadcrumbs over the top of the patty.

7

Carefully lift the ring mold to release the crab cake. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

8

Place the baking sheet with the formed crab cakes into the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.

9

Heat olive oil on a large griddle or in a skillet over medium-high heat.

10

Carefully place the frozen crab cakes on the hot griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

11

Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of remoulade sauce.
