How to make mini crab cake bites in the oven:

I also use a tablespoon of freshly chopped chives for the crab cake batter.

Herbs and seasonings: you’ll need some salt, white pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and old bay seasoning.

You’ll also need a bit of juice for the dipping sauce (if you make it), so be sure to squeeze out a little extra for that too. It’s best to remove the zest first using a zester before squeezing out the juice.

Lemon: You’ll need both the zest and juice for this recipe.

Mayo also is a binder in holding the filling together.

Mayo + Sour cream: the mayo and sour cream add flavor to the bites.

Egg: the egg, cream cheese, and mayo act as binders to bring these ingredients together.

Just be sure to drain well, and remember that if it comes packed in liquid, you’ll want to make sure that you have 8 ounces of crab meat after draining the cans! However, you could certainly steam or boil crabs and use the meat from that as well. I usually purchase tubs of crab meat from the refrigerated seafood section of the grocery store.

Lump crab meat: you can use claw meat or lump crab meat for this recipe.Cream cheese: Be sure to use softened cream cheese for this recipe it’s part of the crab filling base.Butter: the butter is the binder that holds together the panko and parmesan for these bites’ crust portion.Parmesan cheese: the panko and parmesan work together with the butter to make the crust for these little crab cake bites.I haven’t tried using any other type of breadcrumb and am afraid that these crab cake bites wouldn’t hold their shape properly if you were to swap them out. Breadcrumbs: I used panko for this recipe, which is a Japanese breadcrumb.What do you need to make mini crab cake bites?
