Preparation Instructions
- Finely chop all herbs together, and then chop the onion. Set aside.
- Preheat sauté pan to medium low heat, and put about ¼ inch of oil in pan with 2 tbs of butter and allow to heat up until you can put the end of a wooden spoon into the oil and it bubbles up around the spoon or about 350 degrees.
- Mix together herbs, mayo, yogurt, old bay and egg stirring to fully incorporate.
- Then add in crab, followed by onion, and then panko.
- Form into patties. Place into oil, I did four at a time, so I didn’t overcrowd the pan.
- Cook on both sides until brown and slightly firm.
