Swallow At The Hollow Crab Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Take 3 sheets of phyllo at a time, butter and roll up, jelly-roll style. Cut into fourths. Press, cut side down, into muffin pan cups. Press with fingers to flatten and work slightly up the sides of cup. Brush cups with melted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, for a total of 24 cups.
• To prepare filling, place garlic, with tough bottoms cut off, in a plastic bag. Pound with the side of a meat cleaver. Remove skins and place crushed garlic in a deep microwave safe bowl. Add lemon juice and water. Cover and microwave for 2 minutes.
• Add cream cheese to garlic and cream together. Add beaten eggs, feta, crab, and 1 cup of the bread crumbs and mix well. Add cayenne pepper and mix again. Spoon mixture into each phyllo cup, distributing evenly, about 1 tablespoon of mixture per phyllo cup. Sprinkle remaining bread crumbs over the crab mixture (about 1 teaspoon per phyllo cup) and lightly dust the top of each with paprika.
• Bake for 25 minutes. Carefully remove each phyllo cup/crab "cake" onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine all ingredients excluding crabmeat and mix thoroughly. Add crabmeat and toss gently to prevent the lumps from breaking up. Portion to 4-ounce servings and bake for 11 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, onion, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt and cayenne. Fold in the crabmeat and 1/4 cup of the cracker crumbs. Shape the mixture into 16 cakes about 1-inch thick. Coat the crab cakes with the remaining cracker crumbs and transfer to a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. The crab cakes can be refrigerated overnight at this point, if needed.
• In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 2 tablespoons of the oil. When the foam subsides, add half the crab cakes and cook over moderate heat until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain the crab cakes on paper towels, then keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil and cook the remaining crab cakes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Distribute the cornflake crumbs on a platter. Combine all the remaining ingredients except the butter and accompaniment in a nonreactive bowl and toss gently until well blended. Make 8 crab cakes no more than 3 inches thick, pressing the ingredients together well.
• Place the cakes on the crumbs and coat lightly on all sides. Put the cakes on a baking sheet and dot each with a bit of butter.
• Bake the cakes until just hot, about 6 minutes, and serve with one of the accompaniments.
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium nonreactive bowl. Set up a double boiler, adding 3 inches of water to the bottom pot. Bring to the boil. Whisk the ingredients until frothy. Pour into the double boiler and continue to whisk until the sauce is lightly thickened, about 7 minutes. If the sauce seems to be thickening too rapidly, lift the top pot off the heat, whisking continuously to disperse heat. Return the pan to the double boiler and continue whisking until done.

Steps:

• Set the oven temperature to broil.
• Soak the bread in some milk and break it into pieces. Add the crab meat, some parsley, the mayonnaise, mustard, a couple of drops of Worcestershire sauce, the Old Bay Seasoning and egg. Mix everything together with clean hands, but not too much that you lose some of the chunks of the crab meat.
• Shape the mixture into patties and broil until golden brown on one side, then turn them over and broil them until they are golden brown on the other side.

Steps:

• Sort through crabmeat and remove any shells. Mix in bread crumbs until there is an even distribution through out the crabmeat.
• In a separate bowl combine all other ingredients and mix thoroughly. Gradually add the mix to the crabmeat until the crabmeat is moist but not too wet. Divide crabmeat into cakes (1 ounce for appetizers, 4 to 6 ounces for entree). Thoroughly heat crab cakes for 10 to15 minutes at 375 degrees and finish under the broiler to brown the top. Crab cakes can also be pan-fried.
