Crab Cake Sliders with Homemade Tartar Sauce

This is a awesome appetizer!  I served this last week during a fun cocktail party with friends and everyone just loved them!  The homemade tarter sauce is a must to bring it all together.  Very easy recipe and can be made ahead so it's a must try!

Ingredients:

Crab Cakes:

1/3 cup Mayonnaise

1 large egg, beaten

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 lb lump crab meat (picked through for shells)

3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped

Canola or Vegetable Oil for Frying

Preparation:

In a medium bowl mix together, mayonnaise, egg, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste.  Set Aside.  In another bowl combine, lump crab meat, breadcrumbs and parsley.  Pour mayonnaise mixture into crab mixture and combine carefully, trying not to break up the crab.  Form mixture into small, slider size patties and pan fry in vegetable oil over medium high heat until brown on both sides.  Transfer to a plate covered in paper towel to drain excess oil.  Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 F degree oven until ready to serve.  

Tartar Sauce:

1 cup Mayonaise

2 tablespoons dill pickle, chopped

2 teaspoons dill pickle juice

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

2 teaspoons dijon mustard

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Too assemble slider, place 1 crab cake slider on a small slider bun or a Hawaiian roll, top with tarter sauce and enjoy!

Grilled Asaparagus Quiche Breakfast Sandwich

I made this breakfast sandwich the other morning using leftover crust less asparagus quiche that I had made the day before.  My kids LOVED it. 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

for crust less quiche:
7 eggs
1 bunch of asparagus
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

for grilled cheese sandwich:
2 slices of any kind of cheese you like (I used American cheese)
2 slices of any kind of bread you like (I used whole wheat bread)
butter or margarine, softened

Preparation:

Cut off bottom 1/3 of asparagus and discard.   Cut asparagus into small bite size pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl and add a tablespoon of water.  Steam in microwave on high for 60 seconds.  Meanwhile, beat eggs with milk in a large bowl.  To egg mixture add chopped sage, salt and pepper to taste.  Now add steamed asparagus pieces and shredded cheese.  Mix everything together and pour into a small casserole dish that has been greased with non-stick cooking spray.  Bake at 375 degrees F. for 45 minutes, remove from oven and let cool slightly.

To assemble sandwich; cut a small square of quiche and set aside.  Spread softened butter or margarine on one side of each slice of bread.  Place a small frying pan on stove on med/high heat.  Add one slice of bread butter side down in hot pan.  Next, add one slice of cheese, then a square of crust less quiche, another slice of cheese and lastly add the second piece of bread butter side up.  Brown bread for a minute or two and flip and then brown the other side of bread.  Watch this carefully so you don't burn the bread.  Once both sides of bread are brown and cheese is melted remove from pan and cut sandwich in half or quarters and Enjoy!
