Quick and fun crab cakes - get your kids involved by crushing saltines!
Ingredients:
  • 0.5 (4 ounce) packet saltine crackers, crushed
  • 1 medium bell pepper, minced
  • 2 stalks green onions, white parts only, minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
  • 2 pounds cooked blue crabmeat, drained
  • 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, or more as needed
Instructions:
  • Combine crushed crackers, bell pepper, green onions, egg, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard in a large bowl. Carefully incorporate crabmeat, seafood seasoning, and black pepper with a wooden spoon or spatula. Shape mixture into 1/2-inch-thick, 2 to 3-inch-wide patties.
  • Spread a layer of bread crumbs on a plate. Lightly coat the patties with the bread crumbs.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook patties in batches until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as necessary.
