Categories     Sandwich     Shellfish     Appetizer     Broil     Christmas

Yield 4 to 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup Mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
6 drps Tabasco sauce
1- 6.5 oz. can of crabmeat (drained)
1 French bread baguette, sliced 1/2 inch thick

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl combine mayo, grated onion, cheddar cheese, Tabasco, curry powder and crab meat. To serve, place mixture on bread rounds and broil until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. Crab meat that has been frozen or stored for a long time will not have as much flavor.
  • Use a variety of crab meat. For the best results, use a combination of lump crab meat, backfin crab meat, and claw crab meat.
  • Season the crab cakes well. Use a combination of Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to give the crab cakes flavor.
  • Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough.
  • Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent the crab cakes from burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Remoulade sauce, tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Crab cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect crab cakes every time.
