Crab Cake Sliders With Spicy Aioli Sauce Food

CRAB CAKE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Prepare the crab cakes: Tear 3 buns into small pieces to make about 3/4 cup; put in a medium bowl. Whisk 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, the melted butter, egg, Old Bay, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the bun pieces and stir to combine; let sit 10 minutes, then gently fold in the crabmeat. Brush a baking sheet with butter. Tightly pack the crab mixture into 15 small patties and arrange on the prepared baking sheet; refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake until golden and slightly crisp, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings. Break each piece of bacon into thirds; set aside. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the lemon zest and the reserved bacon drippings in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Arrange the remaining 15 buns cut-side up on a baking sheet; brush with butter and broil until golden. Transfer the crab cakes to the broiler and cook, rotating the pan as needed, until golden and warmed through, about 6 minutes.
• Spread the cut sides of the buns with some of the lemon mayonnaise. Sprinkle with diced red onion. Serve the crab cakes on the buns with tomatoes, lettuce and the bacon. Serve with pickles.

Gently fold in the crab meat until just combined. Lightly form 24 patties by taking 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture and rolling it into 2-inch balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Spread each patty with 1/4 teaspoon of mayonnaise, and sprinkle with additional seafood seasoning.
• Bake until light golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

CRAB/CLAM CAKE SLIDERS WITH EASY LEMON AIOLI

Steps:

• *NOTE: Depending on the flavor of the potato chips you choose, the Old Bay Seasoning can be omitted. For example, the first time I tried this recipe I tested 'Fully Loaded' Kettle Chips and I wanted those flavors highlighted. Also, if desired the cakes can be pan fried in either a little bit of oil or a combination of oil and butter.
• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together *1/2 cup* of the mayonnaise, the lemon zest and juice, garlic, Dijon mustard and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat (canned or fresh), potato chips, celery, Old Bay seasoning, the remaining 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, and the eggs. Cover bowl and refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes. Tip: Chilling is important because it firms up the mixture and makes it much easier to shape into patties.
• Mix well, then form into 10 patties, each about 2 1/2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake the crab cakes for approximately 25 minutes rotating the pan as needed for even browning. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
• Serve the crab cakes on buns with the aioli condiment. Add lettuce, if desired.
• Reminder: Cooking time shown above is for pan frying.
