Baked Crab Popper Delights image

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.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c unseasoned Panko bread crumbs
1 c corn, canned
3 small mini red bell pepper
1/4 c green onion stems, finely chopped
16 oz jumbo lump crabmeat, drained
3/4 c Duke's mayonnaise
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 lemon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray cups of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle cups with 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, gently tapping and rotating to coat.
  • 2. Finely chop bell pepper. Blot peppers dry with a paper towel. Finely chop onion tops setting aside 1 teaspoon for garnish.
  • 3. Combine corn, bell pepper, remaining green onions, crabmeat, 1/2 of the mayonnaise, egg, black pepper, and salt. Mix well but gently to not break up the crabmeat too much. Sprinkle lightly with remaining Panko crumbs.
  • 4. Divide mixture evenly among cups of pan. Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan from the oven. Cool in pan 2 minutes and then remove from pan to cooling rack.
  • 5. Meanwhile juice lemon for the sauce. Combine juice, cayenne pepper, and remaining mayonnaise. Mix well. Brush tops of crab cakes with sauce.
  • 6. Top with reserved finely chopped green onion tops.
