Turn heat to low, add flour, and mix well until pasty. Using a whisk, stirring slowly, add soft cooked bacon, diced cooked potatoes, parsley, paprika, garlic salt, celery salt, white pepper, seafood seasoning, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix, and then slowly add the milk and cream, stirring constantly. Add the corn, and finally, gently fold in the crabmeat. Stir slowly. Serve hot.	Blue Crab Cake Pannini (Jodi Jones-Smith) Crisfield Hard Crab Derby Cook time: 30 mins; Yield: 8 servings Ingredients: Maryland Blue Crab Cakes: 3 tbsp vegetable oil; 1/3 cup minced celery; 1/3 cup minced green onion, plus 1/4 cup 1/2 cup cracker crumbs; 1 egg; 2 tbsp minced parsley 1-1/2 tsp seafood seasoning; 1/2 tsp salt 1 pound lump Maryland blue crabmeat To assemble: 8 semi-hard round buns; 8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Onion Relish (recipe follows); Basil Sauce (recipe follows) Directions: Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium high heat. Saute celery and 1/3 cup green onions until soft. Set aside. Preheat broiler. In large bowl, mix cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup green onions, egg, parsley, seafood seasoning, and salt. Add the sauteed onion and celery, and the crabmeat and gently mix. Form the crab mixture into 8 cakes using either a round mold or your hands. Place the cakes, not touching, on a metal baking sheet; broil crab cakes for about 4 minutes. Gently turn them over, careful not to break them, and broil other side. At end of 8 minutes, they should be nicely browned. Heat stovetop grill on medium high heat. Alernately, you can make this recipe on an outdoor grill. "Crown" the buns by cutting off the rounded tops with a bread knife. This will leave you with 8 buns with flat tops. Cut in half lengthwise, if not already split. Brush the outsides with olive oil. On the inside of the top half of each bun, spread about 1 tbsp of the basil sauce and 1/2 tbsp of the onion relish. You can vary amounts according to taste. Place a crab cake on the bottom half of the bun and cover with the top half of the bun. Grill each sandwich for 1-2 minutes per side. While you grill, press down on the sandwich with a metal spatula. This will flatten the sandwich, and make grill marks on the bun. Sandwich is done when lightly browned on each side. Cut sandwiches into halves or quarters and serve. Basil Sauce: 2 small garlic cloves; 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, washed; 3 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan' 3/4 cup mayonnaise Salt and freshly ground black pepper Mix all ingredients in a food processor and set aside. Onion Relish: 1/2 cup red onion, chopped; 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar 1/2 tsp chopped fresh oregano Toss ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
