Instructions

  1. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Sweat the spring onions, bell peppers and garlic but do not let them take on any color. Mix well with the cream, mustard, parsley, egg, cayenne pepper (to taste) and half of the breadcrumbs. Carefully fold in the crab meat.
  2. Divide the whole thing into 8 parts, shape into balls and press flat (approx. 1.5 cm). Mix the parmesan with the remaining breadcrumbs and bread the cakes with it. Let it set in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
  3. Melt the oil and the remaining butter in a pan and fry the cakes on both sides for about 3 minutes until golden brown. Alternatively, cook in the oven at 200 degrees top / bottom heat for 7-10 minutes.
  4. If you like, you can serve it with a lemon mayo with a little buttermilk and dill.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
