Time 15m

Yield 8 2 inch patties, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg
1 egg white
1 tablespoon spicy mustard
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped spinach
12 ounces crabmeat or 12 ounces imitation crabmeat
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix the eggs and all of the seasonings together.
  • Add the chopped red bell pepper and spinach.
  • Stir in all of the crab meat.
  • Get the frying pan warm (just past a medium heat) and add olive oil. The olive oil needs to cover the bottem of the pan.
  • With your hands mix in the bread crumbs. Don't use to much. Just enough to get all of the ingredients to stick together.
  • Roll the mixture into small patties about 2 inches wide and less then an inch thick.
  • Once the oil is hot add patties. Make sure not to have them touch while frying. This will make them easier to flip over.
  • Cook each Pattie about 2 to 4 minutes on each side. If they cook faster then that turn your heat down. The desired color of the patties should be between medium and dark brown.
  • Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute on a papertowel over a plate Before serving.
