Basil Crab Cakes
I love crabmeat any way it’s served, especially in these crab cakes. If you don’t have time to dash to the store, substitute 2 teaspoons of dried basil for the fresh. —Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

Very easy to make. I had to used dried basil, but I think it would taste a lot better with fresh, so use fresh basil if you can. Tasted great, though!
Made this tonight for dinner and its definitely a keeper. I made two small changes. I used crab claw meat instead of lump (because it was on sale) and substituted 1/4 cup breadcrumbs for the saltines (only thing I had on hand). My husband and I loved it and will make again

The verdict is out on this one still. I will need to make it again. I had a hard time deciding what else would go good to complete this meal. The crab I had needed to be mashed a bit for this recipe as the other ingredients wasn't quite enough to hold my lumps of crab meat together in the pan. Taste as good for my teenage son, ok for me and my husband wasn't sold on it. I did go with a bit more of the mustard to cover the mayo taste from my husband who isn't a mayo fan.
