Fresh crab is one of my all-time favorite foods so whenever I get the chance to cook with it I will often make this dish. It's great for appetizers but you can make larger ones for a fantastic dinner with a simple salad. -Ellen Riley, Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Soak bread in milk until almost all milk is absorbed. Squeeze out milk; discard. Set bread aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add two-thirds of crabmeat, the soaked bread, rum, tomato paste, lemon juice, and egg yolk; cook, stirring, 4 minutes. Add cilantro; season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.
- Continue to cook mixture, stirring, until combined and crabmeat is broken up, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat; add remaining crabmeat.
- Mound the crab mixture into shells; transfer to rimmed baking sheets. Stir breadcrumbs into butter in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture on tops of crab cakes.
- Bake crab cakes until heated through and brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat will give your crab cakes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Use a variety of seasonings. Old Bay seasoning is a classic crab cake seasoning, but you can also use other seasonings, such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Don't overmix the crab cakes. Overmixing will make the crab cakes tough. Gently mix the ingredients together until just combined.
- Cook the crab cakes over medium heat. Cooking the crab cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the crab cakes immediately. Crab cakes are best served immediately after they are cooked.
Conclusion:
Mini crab cake bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh crab meat, bread crumbs, eggs, and seasonings. The crab cakes are then baked until golden brown. Mini crab cake bites can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
