Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely minced
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 T. mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs (made from 4 or 5 slices white bread with the crusts removed and processed in food processor) (I use fresh bread crumbs in the cakes and Panko crumbs on outside)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, plus more if needed
1 large egg white
1/2 lime, juiced
1/4 cup (or more) freshly chopped cilantro leaves, plus whole leaves, for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions:
Directions:
Make the crab cakes first so they have time to firm up in the refrigerator before you cook them.

Heat a 2-count of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion gets kind of caramelized. Dump that into a bowl and fold in the crabmeat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, egg white, lime juice, and cilantro, mixing just until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 6 fat crab cakes. Put them on a plate, cover, and stick them in the refrigerator to chill.

To serve, heat a 3-count of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the crab cakes and cook for about 4 minutes each side until nice and crisp. (I then bake at 325 °F for 15 minutes.)
