Crab Cake Blt Recipes

BLT CAKE

Steps:

• Make the bread: Cut 1 pound cake into twelve 1/2-inch-thick slices, then halve each slice on the diagonal. Mix 2 teaspoons almond extract with 1/8 teaspoon brown gel food coloring; brush lines on the pound cake with a food-safe paintbrush or press on with a wooden skewer.
• Make the tomatoes: Heat 1 cup each sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat until dissolved. Add 2 cups thinly sliced strawberries; let soak, turning occasionally, 5 minutes. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet with a slotted spoon. Let cool.
• Make the mayonnaise: Whisk 3 egg whites and 1 cup sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan; beat with a mixer on high speed until stiff and glossy, 5 minutes. Beat in 2 sticks softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Make the lettuce: Melt 1 cup each light green and dark green candy melts and 1/4 cup white candy melts in the microwave in separate bowls. Pour over a crumpled piece of parchment on a baking sheet; swirl the colors with a toothpick. Let set, then break into pieces.
• Make the bacon: Roll out 2 ounces each pink, white and brown fondant into three 10-inch logs; twist together. Roll out the log into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle on a cornstarch-dusted surface. Fold in half and reroll. Cut into twelve 1-inch-thick strips, then shape into wavy strips of bacon and let dry.

PACIFIC CRAB CAKES BLT SANDWICHES WITH HORSERADISH MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• To prepare the crab cakes, tear up the bread and pulse in a food processor to make fine, soft crumbs (you should have about 5 cups). Transfer the bread crumbs to a shallow pan and mix in 1/2 cup of the parsley.
• In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, mustard, paprika, thyme, celery seeds and black pepper.
• Pulse to combine. With the motor running, add the oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream until the mixture emulsifies and forms a mayonnaise. Transfer the mayonnaise to a bowl.
• In a large bowl, combine the onion and bell peppers with the remaining 1/4 cup parsley. Add the mayonnaise and crabmeat and mix lightly.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in 1 cup of the bread crumb mixture. Do not overwork the mixture or the crab cakes may get gummy.
• Gently form 6 cakes and flatten them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Dredge the patties lightly in the remaining bread crumb mixture.
• Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. Or you can freeze them!
• **To prepare the horseradish mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as necessary. Cover and refrigerate.
• Preheat oven to 400°F Put the bacon on a baking sheet, place it in the oven, and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels.
• Place 2 large, nonstick skillets over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to each pan. Add 3 crab cakes to each pan and slowly fry them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and heated through.
• Preheat the broiler. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler, turning until light golden brown on both sides.
• Lightly spread each slice of bread with the horseradish mayo. Place 1 side of toast, mayo side up, on each plate. Top each with 1 crab cake, 2 pieces of bacon, a tomato slice, and lettuce leaves. Place a second slice of toast on top, mayo side down.
