INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. Phillips Crab Meat

2 large eggs

2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp. capers, drained

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/4 tsp. salt

2/3 cup breadcrumbs, lightly toasted

4 Tbsp. butter, divided

2 Tbsp. sweet yellow onion, minced
PREPARATION:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg until frothy. Stir in lemon juice, capers, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and salt and stir until well blended.

2. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat, then saute onion until soft, approximately 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. Fold cooled onions into mixture in bowl until well blended.

4. Gently fold in breadcrumbs, then crab meat. Form approximately 1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz.) of mixture into round or oval cakes, patting mixture gently around the sides.

5. Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in saute pan over medium-low heat. Cook each crab cake until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, turning cake gently during cooking and patting cake, as necessary, with spatula to keep its round or oval shape. Serve immediately.
