03 Method

Step 1

Make poppers: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, egg, lemon juice, Seafood seasoning, and Worcestershire. Mix until smooth, then fold in crab meat, mozzarella, garlic, 1 tbsp. chives, and 3/4 cup bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2

Roll mixture into small balls then coats in remaining panko. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 3

Meanwhile, make aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Seafood seasoning, and remaining chives until smooth. Season with pepper.
Step 4

In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat about 1/2 vegetable oil. Working in batches, add crab cake poppers. Fry until all sides are golden, using tongs to gently turn balls, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Garnish poppers with Parmesan and parsley, and serve warm with aioli.
