This is a very tasty alternative to lunchtime sandwiches. Wonderful when served on onion sandwich rolls with coleslaw.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This crab cake sandwich is delightful and reminds us of something you'd have at a seafood restaurant. The crab cake itself is filled with sweet crab meat and tons of fresh veggies that add flavor. The touch of horseradish and cayenne adds a little zip and spice. On a bun with a little coleslaw, these are great for lunch or a light meal.

How To Make crab cake sandwiches

Test Kitchen Tips

We couldn't find onion rolls, so we used a brioche roll instead. Lump crab meat can be pricy. Claw meat is a great substitution.

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix 1/2 c Italian-style bread crumbs, salt, celery seed, and cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Stir in egg, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, horseradish, and onion. Stir well.
Step 3

Add crab. Stir gently until well-blended.
Step 4

Shape into 6 large patties.
Step 5

Spread the remaining 1/2 c Italian bread crumbs on a plate. Prepare egg dip and dip each patty first into the egg.
Step 6

Then into bread crumbs, coating well. Cover prepared patties and refrigerate for at least one hour; no longer than overnight.
Step 7

Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a frying pan and fry patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
Step 8

Serve on onion rolls with tartar sauce and coleslaw, if desired.
