Crab Cakes a la Baconnaise - from Mad Meat Genius

According to our friends at Mad Meat Genius:

"You will never order Crab Cakes from a restaurant ever again if you make these."

Ingredients

1. 1 live crab or 1 pound of lump crab meat
2. 1/4 cup of Baconnaise
3. 1 egg
4. 1/2 cup and 1 cup of bread crumbs
5. 1 stalk of celery chopped fine
6. 1 green onion chopped fine
7. pinch of salt and pepper

Combine all ingredient reserving 1 cup of bread crumbs. Form into patties and coat with reserved bread crumbs. Refrigerate patties for at least one hour to firm. Fry in a combination of butter and oil. Fry over medium high heat. Cook until a brown crust forms on one side. Flip over and cook for another minute or two. The object is to form a crust and heat the center. Be careful to not overcook because they are gentle.

Dang, I saw this on his blog the other day and it made me quite hungry. Now I'm crazy with pangs of hunger!

Ya know, while I haven't had these particular cakes, I have had Mad Meat Genius' preparations. And brother, or sister, he knows what he's doing.
