Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 8 2 inch patties, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg
1 egg white
1 tablespoon spicy mustard
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped spinach
12 ounces crabmeat or 12 ounces imitation crabmeat
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix the eggs and all of the seasonings together.
  • Add the chopped red bell pepper and spinach.
  • Stir in all of the crab meat.
  • Get the frying pan warm (just past a medium heat) and add olive oil. The olive oil needs to cover the bottem of the pan.
  • With your hands mix in the bread crumbs. Don't use to much. Just enough to get all of the ingredients to stick together.
  • Roll the mixture into small patties about 2 inches wide and less then an inch thick.
  • Once the oil is hot add patties. Make sure not to have them touch while frying. This will make them easier to flip over.
  • Cook each Pattie about 2 to 4 minutes on each side. If they cook faster then that turn your heat down. The desired color of the patties should be between medium and dark brown.
  • Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute on a papertowel over a plate Before serving.

  • Heat a large heavy skillet, such as cast iron, over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup oil to the skillet. (I recommend 12 inch - anything smaller than that and you may need to cook two batches.)
  • Use a large ice cream scoop / disher scoop to get a portion of the crab cake mix from the bowl (or smaller, cookie scoop to make mini crab cakes). Place directly into the hot oil in the skillet and use the back of a fish spatula to press down on the top. (Alternatively, you can divide into four-six equal portions and form patties with your hands.)
  • Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes, flip carefully, and cook for another 3-4 minutes (more or less time depending on how big the patties are or how hot your burners are) over medium-high heat, until the outside is golden brown and crispy.
