Broiled Crab Cakes Recipe

Name: Broiled Crab Cakes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 3 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 pound crabmeat; 10 saltine crackers; 2 tablespoons parsley; 2 tablespoons pimiento peppers; 4 tablespoons mayonnaise; 0.25 teaspoon old bay seasoning; 2 teaspoons very butter

These crab cakes are held together with just enough mayonnaise and crushed saltine crackers, allowing the sweet crabmeat to shine. They come together quickly: gently mix the ingredients, form the cakes, then broil them until they're golden brown and heated through. You can prep the cakes a day ahead and keep them chilled, making dinner even easier. A quick broil gives them a nice crisp exterior without needing a pan full of oil.
