Instructions
Crab Cakes:
- Add 1 cup of Panko bread crumbs to a shallow bowl and set aside.
- To a large bowl add: sour cream, mayo, beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Add crab meat, mozzarella, garlic, 1 cup of panko bread crumbs and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to scoop equal amount of the mixture and roll into balls, use your palms to flatten them into patties that are about 1 inch thick.
- Add the patties one by one to the bowl with panko bread crumbs and use your hands to pat the crumbs onto the patties.
- Place the crab cakes on a cutting board that has been covered with parchment paper. Freeze until firm, for about 30 minutes.
- Place a large, deep skillet over high heat and add about 1 inch of vegetable or canola oil.
- Wait for the oil to get hot. Add the crab cakes, if needed work in batches. Fry on both sides for about 2 or 3 minutes, until the cakes are golden-brown. Be gentle when flipping them and when removing from the pan. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate excess oil.
