Category: Sandwiches
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

Crab Cakes
5 to 6 slices white sandwich bread
3/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp paprika, dried thyme and celery seeds
1/4 tsp black pepper
5 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion, green and red bell pepper
1 lb Dungeness crabmeat, picked over and drained

Horseradish Mayonnaise
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon zest
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt

Sandwich Preparation
18 slices thick-cut bacon (a little more than 1 lb)
About 4 tbsp unsalted butter
12 slices firm white sandwich bread, such as Pepperidge Farm
6 slices tomato
6 butter lettuce leaves

To prepare the crab cakes, tear up the bread and pulse in a food processor to make fine, soft crumbs (you should have about 5 cups). Transfer the bread crumbs to a shallow pan and mix in 1/2 cup of the parsley.

In a food processor, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, mustard, paprika, thyme, celery seeds and black pepper. Pulse to combine. With the motor running, add the oil through the feed tube in a slow, steady stream until the mixture emulsifies and forms a mayonnaise. Transfer the mayonnaise to a bowl.

In a large bowl, combine the onion and bell peppers with the remaining 1/4 cup parsley. Add the mayonnaise and crabmeat and mix lightly. Using a rubber spatula, fold in 1 cup of the bread crumb mixture. Do not overwork the mixture or the crab cakes may get gummy. Gently form 6 cakes and flatten them into patties about 1/2 inch thick. Dredge the patties lightly in the remaining bread crumb mixture. If you have time, cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.

To prepare the mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as necessary. Cover and refrigerate.

Preheat oven to 400. Put the bacon on a baking sheet, place it in the oven, and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels. Place 2 large, nonstick skillets over medium heat and add about 2 tbsp of the butter to each pan. Add 3 crab cakes to each pan and slowly fry them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and heated through.

Preheat the broiler. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler, turning until light golden brown on both sides. Lightly spread each slice of bread with the horseradish mayo. Put the cooked bacon on a baking sheet and warm it briefly under the broiler.

Place 1 side of toast, mayo side up, on each plate. Top each with 1 crab cake, 3 pieces of bacon, a tomato slice, and lettuce leaves. Place a second slice of toast on top, mayo side down. Serves 6
