Creole Crab Cake Sliders

I love Marguerite's blog, Cajun Delights. I'm a big fan of food with great flavors (duh!) and a little kick. Head on over to Cajun Delights and you'll find plenty of great stuff!

 

You can serve this crab cakes with or without the slider buns. I thought they'd make them a little different. Oh, and be careful when you flip the crab cakes in the pan. They're very tender and can fall apart on you if you're not gentle.
