Chesapeake Burger Ingredients

Method

Chesapeake Burger Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Old Bay Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Crab Cake

    In a separate bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cake

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Form the crab mixture into two patties and cook in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burger

    Toast the brioche buns in the same skillet until golden brown. On the bottom half of each bun, spread a generous amount of Old Bay mayo, add a lettuce leaf, place the crab cake patty, top with provolone cheese, a slice of tomato, and finish with the top bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Chesapeake Burger immediately with your choice of sides.
