Crab Cake Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Sandwich Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, claw crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Gently mix until just combined. Form the mixture into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Roasted Pepper Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine roasted red peppers, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mash together to create a chunky aioli.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche buns lightly. On the bottom bun, layer romaine lettuce, a cooked crab cake, a slice of tomato, and a generous dollop of roasted pepper aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve with Fresh-Cut Fries

    Serve the crab cake sandwich alongside fresh-cut fries for a complete meal.
