CRAB TOAST



Crab Toast image

Like the very best crab cakes on earth, which have as little dulling, distracting or deadening filler as possible, these crab toasts take that ethos to the extreme. There is no call for bell pepper or bread crumbs or diced celery; just the best fresh, sweet, saline crab meat you can buy, gently seasoned with a little lemon juice, bound with a tiny amount of tangy crème fraîche, then piled onto a slab of good toast, still warm. The toast is made ever so luxurious with a slathering of nutty brown butter mayonnaise. These two simple components - crab and brown butter toast - act in concert, and a glass of cold rosé to wash them down makes for the most exhilarating, satisfying spring supper imaginable.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
12 ounces crab meat
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons finely minced chives
1 teaspoon crème fraîche, sour cream, heavy cream or half-and-half
4 to 6 slices pane Francese, black pumpernickel or other rustic bread, toasted on both sides

Steps:

  • In a small sauce pot, brown the butter over medium heat, swirling the pot, until the butter is caramel-colored and has a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, scraping up all the milk solids from the bottom and sides of the pot while the butter is still hot, and let cool to room temperature.
  • Place the egg and egg yolk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, a healthy pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water in the bowl of a food processor. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. Once all the oil has been added, the mayonnaise should be loose yet emulsified. While the processor is still running, slowly drizzle in the brown butter and any toasted milk solids. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
  • For the crab salad, gently and quickly mix crab meat, olive oil, chives, crème fraîche and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice together in a bowl. Season to taste with salt.
  • Schmear each piece of toasted bread with the brown butter mayonnaise evenly - as we like to say, "wall to wall." Divide the crab mixture among the slices, piling it evenly on top.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 12 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups ground almond meal, plus 2/3 cup for dredging
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 pound lump crab meat, picked over
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 to 3/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil for frying
2 egg yolks
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2/3 to 1 cup grapeseed oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Make the crab cakes: Whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, egg, egg yolk and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Mix in 2 cups of almond meal, scallions and herbs until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in crab. Season with salt and white pepper, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the aioli: Combine egg yolks, mustard, garlic and lemon zest and juice in a blender or food processor and purée until smooth. With machine running, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil a few drops at a time until the mixture begins to thicken. Gradually increase the oil to a thin, steady stream, blending to a uniform creamy consistency. If aioli breaks, drizzle in a little lukewarm water a few drops at a time until consistency is reached again. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Will keep 2 days or more in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Mix remaining 2/3 cup almond meal and cornmeal in a pie plate and season lightly with salt and pepper. Divide crab mixture into 12 equal portions and form into 2-inch patties. Coat in almond-cornmeal mixture.
  • Heat 1/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is hot but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Cook crab cakes in batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crisp, wiping out the skillet and adding fresh oil between the batches. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined tray. Crab cakes can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven for up to 30 minutes.
