Serve premade crab cakes as a gourmet party appetizer.
Premade crab cakes can taste just as good as their homemade counterparts when prepared correctly. Save time by buying frozen or fresh premade crab cakes from a grocery store or seafood deli counter. You don't have to thaw frozen crab cakes prior to preparing them. Serve the tasty shellfish treats as appetizers during elegant dinner parties, holiday get-togethers or any other special event. As a tasty lunch or light dinner, place the cooked crab cakes atop a fresh garden salad. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Thaw the crab cakes in a refrigerator for three to four hours before preparing them for a faster cooking time. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Spray a nonstick baking sheet with a thin layer of cooking spray.
3. Brush the tops of each frozen or thawed crab cake with 1 tsp. of olive oil or melted butter. Arrange the cakes on the baking sheet, allowing a 1-inch space between each one.
4. Bake frozen crab cakes for 40 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and crispy. Bake thawed crab cakes for approximately 20 minutes. Serve the cooked crab cakes immediately.
