MINI CRAB CAKE RECIPE EASY RECIPES

Steps:

• Make poppers: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, egg, lemon juice, Old Bay, and Worcestershire. Mix until smooth, then fold in crab meat, mozzarella, garlic, 1 tbsp. chives, and ¾ cup bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Roll mixture into small balls (about 1"), then coat in remaining panko. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, make aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay, and remaining chives until smooth. Season with pepper. In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat about ½" vegetable oil. Working in batches, add crab cake poppers. Fry until all sides are golden, using tongs to gently turn balls, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel–lined plate. Garnish poppers with Parmesan and parsley, and serve warm with aioli.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• In medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the egg, chives, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.

• Bake 16 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned and hot in center. Cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir together Lemon-Garlic Sauce ingredients until blended. Serve bites with sauce and lemon wedges.
