CRAB CAKE SLIDERS WITH REMOULADE SAUCE RECIPE
To me, crab cakes are a quintessential taste of summer. When I bite into one of them, I am transported to a beach town on the Atlantic watching the shrimp boats come back with their haul. Let’s all have a little brain break and enjoy some Vitamin Sea! I present to you: The Best Crab Cake Sliders
WHAT IS A CRAB CAKE SLIDER?
Crab cakes are usually made with crab meat, mayo, bread crumbs, and a few other ingredients and fried in a pattie shape. This slider recipe takes those delicious crab cakes and puts them in small slider buns and is topped with cheese and a cajun remoulade sauce.
WHAT DOES THIS MINI CRAB CAKE SANDWICH TASTE LIKE?
These little crab cake sandwiches are rich in seafood and Cajun flavors such as garlic, paprika, and cayenne. The slider gets an added creamy kick from the remoulade sauce.
EASY CRAB CAKE SLIDER INGREDIENTS
- Wonder Bread Honey Slider Buns – 12
- Frozen crab cakes (approximately 3-4 ounces in size) – 12
- Colby Jack cheese – 6 deli slices
- Remoulade Sauce – 1 1/2 cups
- Butter – 4 tablespoons
- Cajun seasoning – 2 teaspoons
HOW TO MAKE THIS SIMPLE CRAB CAKE SANDWICH RECIPE
A little bit of stacking, a little bit of brushing, and a little bit of baking. This crab cake sandwich is one of the easiest recipes around. The utilization of pre-made crab cakes definitely helps cut down on time and effort.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- On a nonstick baking dish, arranged the bottom half of slider buns.
- Place a frozen crab cake on each of the slider buns
- Layer the Colby Jack cheese slices evenly across the crab cakes
- Dollop 2 tablespoons of remoulade sauce on top of each cheese-topped crab cake
- Place the upper half of slider rolls on each crab cake sandwich.
- Combine melted butter and cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Using a basting brush, generously coat the top of slider buns with cajun seasoned butter.
- Place in oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until crab cakes are cooked throughout and slider buns are golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
CAN YOU MAKE CRAB CAKE SLIDERS AHEAD OF TIME?
The fresher the better with these sandwiches. It is ok to make these a couple of hours in advance if you are planning to bring them to a party, but I would not want to keep reheating these sliders. Cover them with aluminum foil to keep them fresh and to prevent the bread from drying out.
CAN YOU FREEZE A CRAB CAKE SANDWICH?
I would not freeze these sliders. There are only so many times you can reheat crab cakes in my opinion. Also, if you add the remoulade sauce, and then try to thaw it out after freezing the sauce, it would be a molten mess.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH CRAB CAKE SLIDERS WITH REMOULADE SAUCE?
These little crab cake sandwiches would go great with some fries, or potato salad. Keep it casual.
