Crab cakes and champagne











Okay, just by the title of this blog you know it was a good Saturday night in the Chase household! The pictures include our delicious champagne (the Total Wine saleslady said it was as good as Veuve...she was wrong, but it was still really good), the crab cakes, and our adorable Sadie trying to get in some of the action during dinner.








For the crab cakes: mix 8 oz jumbo lump crab meat with a couple rounded tablespoons of mayonnaise, grainy mustard (about 2 tablespoons), 1/4 cup bread crumbs (or panko, but we were out), salt and pepper to taste, and the zest and juice of one lemon. Stir together carefully so that the crab meat doesn't break apart too much. In a frying pan, coat the bottom with olive oil on medium heat. Once it's hot, add the crabcakes (our's made 4), and fry for about 4-6 minutes on each side (this is when we started toasting with our champagne...the reason why I'll share at a later date...so the time's were a little vague haha). We served them with a quick remoulade with mayo, mustard, lemon zest, and paprika.








All in all, it was a delicious Saturday feast! The perfect meal after a long week of dealing with FCAT prep. More to come tomorrow!
