Steps:

• If using, prepare the sauce by blending the mayo and roasted peppers in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
• Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in crab, both cheeses, chives, and a quarter cup of the breadcrumbs.
• Pour the remaining half a cup of breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
• Line a large plate or baking sheet with waxed paper. Line a second large plate or baking sheet with paper towels (the latter for draining the finished crab cakes).
• Form heaping tablespoons of the crab mixture into cakes of a quarter-inch thickness, coat each with the crumbs, and place on the waxed paper-lined plate or baking sheet.
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, heat the vegetable oil until a droplet of water thrown in starts to sizzle or until bubbles start to gather around the tip of a wooden spoon placed in the oil, whatever method you choose.
• Fry cakes, a few at a time, until golden on both sides, approximately three minutes total for each batch.
• As cakes cook, remove them to the paper-towel lined baking sheet.
• When all cakes are cooked, move to serving platter, arranging around a bowl of the sauce, if you like.
