I had fun tweaking this recipe for an Autumn Tea my club had. I love crab and so it made sense I would make something from crab to share with my friends.

Baked Crab Popper Delights on a platter.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The perfect crab appetizer! These are basically a crab cake in popper form. No one needs to know how quick and easy these are. With a bit of heat, the red pepper adds a punch of flavor. The lemon sauce brushed on top is a great touch.

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 cup unseasoned Panko bread crumbs, divided
3 small mini red bell pepper
3 - green onion stems
1 cup corn, canned
16 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat, drained
3/4 cup Duke's mayonnaise
1 - egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 - lemon, juiced

How To Make baked crab popper delights

Step 1

Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the cups of a mini-muffin pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle cups with 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, gently tapping and rotating to coat.

Step 2

Finely chop bell pepper. Blot peppers dry with a paper towel. Finely chop onion tops, setting aside 1 teaspoon for garnish.
Step 3

Combine the corn, bell pepper, green onions, crabmeat, 1/2 of the mayonnaise, egg, black pepper, and salt. Mix well, but gently so as to not break up the crabmeat too much. Sprinkle lightly with remaining Panko crumbs.
Step 4

Divide mixture evenly among the cups. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan from the oven. Cool in the pan 2 minutes and then transfer from pan to a cooling rack.
Step 5

Meanwhile, combine lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and remaining mayonnaise in a small bowl, mixing well. Brush tops of crab cakes with the sauce.
Step 6

Top with reserved finely chopped green onion tops.
