. Crab Cakes Recipe

Crab cakes are always on the menu at fancy restaurants, but why wait for date night or special occasions to enjoy them? For this recipe, all you need is lump crab, panko, eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, bell peppers, onions, chives, and seasonings

Creating a panade with the breadcrumbs and eggs ensures that the cakes keep their shape when frying. Serve them with just a squeeze of lemon juice, a creamy tartar sauce, or aioli. This crab cake recipe serves up generous portions with a nice crunch from the peppers and onions. You can easily make smaller portions if serving as a light appetizer taster.
