    Looks great.  I'm assuming from the crust these babies hit a CI pan.  Can you tell me more about how you created this goodness?

    @Mattman3969

    Crab Cakes:
    (1) 16 oz can of colossal lump crab
    (2) TBSP Light Mayo
    (1) Egg
    (1/4) Cup Ritz Crackers
    (2) tsp Old Bay
    (2) TBSP finely minced chives
    S&P to taste

    Mince the chives, then lightly sauté in a pan until soft.
    While sauté is happening, drain and rinse crab meat. Place in mixing bowl.
    Sprinkle crushed Ritz crackers on top of crab.  
    Add Mayo.
    Remove lightly sautéd butter/chive mixture from heat.
    Scramble your egg, and then place over mixture.
    Once butter/chive mixture is cool enough to touch, add to crab mixture.

    Gently mix all ingredients, and press into 1/2" patties.  Cool in the refrigerator for 2 hours to let them set.

    Sauce:
    (1) Lemon juiced
    (1/2) Lemon zested
    (2) tsp minced garlic
    (1/2) Cup Whipping Cream (most call for buttermilk - I didn't have)
    (2) TBSP baby dill minced
    (1) TBSP parsley minced
    (2) Cups Mayo

    Combine all ingredients and let set in refrigerator for 2 hours to incorporate flavors.  


    *You can half the recipe for the Lemon-Dill sauce for 16 oz. of crab.  I made extra for cod filets later this week.

    Cook:
    (1/4) Vegetable Oil (I forgot the peanut when I was shopping).
    (2) Tsp butter for flavor

    Heat oil in a deep saute' pad (I did not use CI) until a small amount of water will pop.  
    Add crab cakes for 5 minutes one side - don't touch/flip.
    Flip crab cakes, and cook for 3-4 more minutes.
    Drain on paper towel/cooling rack.

    Serve with sauce on the side or covered.  Enjoy!

    These look great but I have a question.   When you say scramble the eggs, I think of them as cooked, when you say scramble.     Do you mean whip the eggs?

    I think he means beat the egg.

    Good call, my bad.  Beat it, it's still raw when you mix it together.  Used as a binder.
