Crabby Patty’s Coleslaw Cups

PREPARING THE CRABCAKES:
– Mix the crabcake ingredients together, except for the panko bread crumbs.
– Roll the mixture into large balls about 1-1/2 inch wide in diameter.
– Roll the balls in the panko bread crumbs.
– Heat up some oil in a fry pan at medium heat.
– Place crab balls into the pan and flatten with a spatula.
– Cook for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
– Flip and cook the other side.

PREPARING THE COLESLAW:
– Mix the coleslaw ingredients together.
– That’s pretty much it.

PREPARING THE PROVOLONE CHEESE CUPS:
* This was done following Pastor Ryan’s tutorial which you can find on his blog site with great photos.

– Preheat a round fry pan on the stove at medium heat for about 5-minutes.
– Place a slice of cheese onto the pan and watch it sizzle. Don’t walk away from it.
– Bubbles will start to form on it. Large bubbles. Sort of like making pancakes.
– The edges will start to brown and the bubbles will become smaller. This usually takes about 5-minutes.
– Flip the cheese with a flat spatula and crisp up the other side.
– When ready, place the still hot cheese into a ramekin and push down the center of it with a small round cup, bowl or ladle. Careful not to tear or crack the cheese.
– It forms and hardens quick so do this step fast!
– Then pull the cheese cup out of the ramekin and set on a paper towel to cool and harden completely.
– The cheese creates a lot of oil as it heats up. Discard the oil after every 2 slices or so to avoid over oiliness.

ASSEMBLING EVERYTHING TOGETHER:
– Make sure you assemble everything together last minute to avoid getting the cheese crisps soggy.
– Place a small pile of coleslaw into the cheese cups.
– Place a crab cake over the coleslaw.
– Garnish with chopped tomatoes and chives.
