Crab Cakes
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 2 cup panko bread crumb, half of them divided
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- pinch cayenne
- 1/4 tsp OLD BAY seasoning
- Combine all the crab cake ingredients in a bowl (reserving one cup of Panko for the coating). Form into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick. Place remaining Panko in a bowl. One at a time, place the patties in the Panko and press until well coated on all sides with bread crumbs. Place on a plate and refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a pan over medium high heat, cook the bacon, turning frequently, until crispy and cooked trough. Remove the bacon and set aside. Once the bacon is removed, add the crab cakes to the pan, cooking in the bacon grease until golden brown on the underside, flip carefully and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
