Description
One of my family’s favorite ways to eat crab! You can always omit the bun and serve these on a bed of mixed greens too.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- the zest of one lemon (about 2 tablespoons), divided
- 4 burger buns, toasted (I used an onion roll)
- Arugula for topping
- 2 big tomatoes, sliced
- Tarter sauce for topping
- 4 green onions, chopped to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly spray with Pam. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, bread crumbs, beaten eggs, Dijon, garlic and one tablespoons of lemon zest. Take a fourth of this mixture and form it into a round patty. Repeat with the remaining crab mixture.
- Bake about 16 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Serve your crab cake on top of your roll along with all of your favorite garnishes and toppings.
