Ingredients

  • 8 oz crab meat
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 slice bread slices
  • 2 leaf lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the 8 oz crab meat, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 beaten egg until just combined. Shape into 2 patties.

  2. 2

    Coat the patties with the remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Toast the 2 bread slices in the same skillet until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.

  4. 4

    Place the cooked crab cakes on the toasted bread, top with the 2 lettuce leaves, and close the sandwich. Serve warm.
