Crab Cake

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Shape the crab mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Remoulade

    In a small bowl, mix together Lusty Monk mustard, mayonnaise, and a splash of lemon juice for the remoulade sauce.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the City Bakery Hawaiian rolls, then spread a generous amount of the remoulade on the bottom half. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and top with a crab cake. Finish with the top half of the roll.
