Crab Cake Sammy Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Sammy Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cakes

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onion, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined. Form the mixture into patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped thyme, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Fry the Eggs

    In the same skillet, fry the large eggs to your desired doneness (sunny-side up or over-easy).

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Spread the lemon-thyme aioli on both halves. Layer with lettuce, crab cakes, tomato, and top with the fried egg. Close the sandwich and serve.
