Crab is a type of shellfish referred to as a crustacean. It’s the second best tasting sea creature next to a lobster. To prepare the best mini crab cake sandwiches you’ll need to purchase cooked lump or jumbo lump crab meat. Lump crab meat is delicious and has succulent flavor seafood lovers adore.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of lump crab meat
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup of mayonnaise
- ¼ cup of green onions, chopped fine
- 1 tablespoon of mustard
- 1 cup of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 6 tomato slices
- 6 hamburger buns or potato rolls
Condiments:

Directions:
- Preheat a grill or broiler.
- Combine eggs, mayonnaise, onion, mustard and breadcrumbs together in a medium sized bowl.
- Fold in the crab meat until completely covered by breadcrumb mixture.
- Season the crab cake mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the crab cake mixture to form 6 patties.
- Line the grill surface or broiler pan with a lightly coated piece of aluminum foil.
- Place mini crab cakes on the foil and cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn the crab cakes over and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Suggestions:
- If grilling, make sure the crab cakes are cooked under a medium flame and not over the hottest section of the grill for best results.
