Directions

1

["Preheat oven to 350f.", "Heat skillet to med hi heat and melt 2T butter. Place diced onions, red pepper, and celery in butter, season to taste ( a little S&P) and saute until soft and translucent. Remove from heat and place in large mixing bowl.", "Add all ingredients down to and including the egg (Whisk it first, in a separate bowl).", "Now it is time to start being gentle. Add the Breadcrumbs gently to the mix. We need it fully incorporated, but we don't want to make a mush of it. Try to get it wet with the mixture without smooshing it into a paste (Not that easy, but doable).", "Now for the crab. Fold in the crab gently so as not to break it up too much.", "Shape mixture ( don't cut out) into individual crab cakes (I am using a 2 1/4 round form) 1 - 1 1/2 inch high. Set on plate and cover with plastic wrap air tight. Set in fridge over night or at least 3 hours (this allows the egg to \"set\"" the cake together - I prefer overnight).""
