CRAB ROLLS

These are based off crab rolls I had at Obrycki's in Baltimore. Try to get good quality crab, as it matters. Tinned crab isn't very good here. Once made, the salad will keep a couple days in the fridge.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 15 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 14

18 mini potato buns
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
1 large egg
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Kosher salt
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked through
10 strips bacon
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Freshly ground pepper
Diced red onion, sliced tomatoes and lettuce leaves, for topping
Pickles, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the crab cakes: Tear 3 buns into small pieces to make about 3/4 cup; put in a medium bowl. Whisk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, the melted butter, egg, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the bun pieces and stir to combine; let sit 10 minutes, then gently fold in the crabmeat. Brush a baking sheet with butter. Tightly pack the crab mixture into 15 small patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and slightly crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Break each piece of bacon into thirds; set aside. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the lemon zest and the reserved bacon drippings in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the broiler. Arrange the remaining 15 buns cut-side up on a baking sheet; brush with butter and broil until golden. Transfer the crab cakes to the broiler and cook, rotating the pan as needed, until golden and warmed through, about 6 minutes.
  • Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the lemon mayonnaise. Sprinkle with diced red onion. Serve the crab cakes on the buns with tomatoes, lettuce and the bacon. Serve with pickles.

CRAB ROLLS



Crab Rolls image

Don't let lobster have all the fun! Crab is just as delicious on a buttery toasted bun, especially when amped up with mayonnaise, lemon, Old Bay, and cayenne.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
6 top-split buns
1 head butter lettuce (such as Boston), leaves separated, for serving
Chopped fresh chives and potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, Old Bay, and cayenne. Gently fold in crabmeat.
  • Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium, about 8 minutes. Generously brush top and sides of buns with butter. Place buns, flat-side down, in skillet and toast, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden on both sides, about 3 minutes. Line inside of buns with 1 to 2 lettuce leaves; divide crabmeat among buns. Drizzle tops with remaining melted butter; sprinkle with chives and more Old Bay. Serve, with lemon wedges and potato chips.

Tips:

  • Use lump crab meat for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have lump crab meat, you can use flaked crab meat. Just be sure to pick out any shells or cartilage.
  • You can use any kind of bread you like for the rolls. I like to use a soft, white bread, but you could also use a hearty whole-wheat bread or a flaky croissant.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab cakes. They should be cooked through, but you don't want them to be dry or tough.
  • Serve the crab cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Mini crab rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're always a hit with my friends and family. You can find more recipes on my blog!
