I love making appetizers and I love crab cakes! These are a mini version of a full size crab cake and rolled into balls! Great party food for football games or holidays! I served this with a store bought remoulade sauce. I am not sure I would serve it the same way the next time as the sauce was slightly over powering the crab flavor! You could easily serve these with crackers too!
INGREDIENTS
1 pound crab meat, cleaned and picked free of any shells
1 egg, beaten
1 cup Ritz crackers, crushed
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons diced parsley
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 Tablespoons melted butter
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place crab meat in a mixing bowl and add crushed crackers, Old Bay, and parsley. In a separate bowl combine egg, mustard, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk until well combined. Pour egg mixture into the crab mixture and gently mix to combine trying not to break up the large pieces of crab. Mold into golf ball size balls and place on a baking sheet. When you have done this for all of the mixture bake for 30 minutes. The bites will be slightly browned. Remove from oven and drizzle the bites with melted butter and serve warm.
Enjoy!
