Mike's EZ Crab Cakes step by step
- A great brand of crab meat!
Check closely for any shells..
- Mix everything together except for oil, hollandaise sauce and anything that says, "+ reserves."
Add crab last and dont over mix. You'll want those lumps in this dish..
- Make your crab cakes to the size you desire. Smaller or larger. [smaller are less likely to fall apart upon flipping] Its up to you.
Before plating your cakes on a plate, lightly spray plate with Pam to keep them from sticking..
-
Place cakes in the fridge for 1 full hour to chill. Otherwise theyll fall apart while frying..
-
After 1 hour, pull cakes from fridge and generously coat/pack cakes well with your reserved bread crumbs..
-
Place oil in a pan and heat. Fry crab cakes until theyre golden brown. About 5 minutes.
Be careful when flipping them. Allow them to fry on one side for as long as you can without burning before gently flipping them.
Upon flipping, use a spatula to lift cakes and another spatulas back side to secure the cake on its top. Then flip.
Drain cakes on paper towels..
- If opting, make your Hollandaise Sauce as per manufacturers directions. Know it will require both milk and butter.
For additional flavor, add a couple of dashes of Old Bay and cracked black pepper to your sauce..
- Serve straight or, lightly drizzle Hollandaise Sauce over your crab cakes and garnish with fresh parsley.
Definitely serve with lemon wedges to the side. Enjoy!.
