Crab Cakes
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Maine crab meat, herbed cream cheese, diced red and green bell peppers, chopped onion, beaten egg, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form the Cakes
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the cakes on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Once the cakes have chilled, take each patty and coat it with Italian breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick.
Cook the Cakes
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Billy's house dill sauce on the side.
