Ingredients

• 1 pound lump crab meat
• 1/2 cup bell pepper (yellow, red, or a little of both), chopped
• 2 large eggs , separated
• 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasonings
• 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 clove garlic , minced
• 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro , chopped
• salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
•  Panko bread crumbs
• Crab Cakes Sauce:
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tablespoons chives , finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic , minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Make chipotle mayo crab cakes sauce by combining the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve. (This can be made several days in advance).
2. In a mixing bowl add the crab meat, bell peppers, one beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayo, garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir just until blended. 
3. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to 5 hours.
4. Beat the remaining egg and add to a shallow dish. Add the panko bread crumbs to another dish.
5. Spoon about 1/3 of the mixture into your palm and flatten into a small disc, about 3 inches in diameter. 
6. Sprinkle the outsides of the crab cake patties with a tiny bit of cornstarch. 
7. Dip each patty lightly in the beaten egg, and then coat them lightly with panko bread crumbs. I try to avoid doing a thick coating of crumbs because I like the crab flavor to shine through as much as possible. 
8. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown on bottom. 
9. Gently flip to the other side and cook for another 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a plate. Serve warm with chipotle mayo sauce for dipping.
