Crab Cake

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onions, Old Bay seasoning, and beaten egg. Mix gently to avoid breaking the crab.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture is well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should be able to make about 4 patties.

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the crab cakes are cooking, slice the brioche buns in half and toast them until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a crab cake, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese, a few slices of red onion, and a handful of arugula. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of Creole remoulade on top.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sandwich

    Cover with the top half of the brioche bun. Repeat for the second sandwich.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Serve the Mitchell Sandwiches warm with extra Creole remoulade on the side for dipping.
