Ingredients
Tools:
- Lancaster 5 Quart Dutch Oven
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
- 6 oz shredded imitation crab
- 2 Tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup flour
- Vegetable oil for frying (approx. 1 quart)
Directions
- Mix the cream cheese, mozzarella, crab, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl until the ingredients are uniformly combined.
- Press the mixture into a lined 8x8-inch baking dish, cover, and freeze until solid, approximately 2-3 hours.
- Prepare a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs seasoned lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cut the frozen blend into 12 sticks, dredge each in flour, dip in egg, then coat in breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a Lancaster Cast Iron Dutch Oven to 375°F and fry each stick until golden brown, about 1 minute and 45 seconds, turning once for even cooking.
- Serve immediately with dipping sauces such as duck sauce or marinara for a delightful taste contrast.

Cast Iron Skillet Cinnamon Rolls
Soft, fluffy cinnamon buns with buttery cinnamon-sugar filling, baked together in the Lancaster No. 8 Cast Iron Skillet until golden brown. A little heavy cream poured over the buns just before baking helps create an extra-soft, tender center, while a classic cream cheese glaze melts into every swirl. It's a timeless homemade cinnamon bun recipe, made for sharing straight from the skillet.
Rosemary and Orange Olive Oil Cake
This is one of my favorite recipes when in need of an elegant and tasty treat. This cake is unbelievably moist with a light floral and fruity flavor thanks to the olive oil. I love pairing flavors such as lemon or orange with this cake to enhance the taste of the olive oil.
Browned Butter Mushroom & Thyme Cream Pasta
A rich, silky pasta with browned butter, sautéed mushrooms, fresh thyme, garlic, and just enough lemon to brighten the sauce. The creamy béchamel-style sauce comes together entirely in the skillet, then the pasta is finished right in the pan so every strand of pappardelle is coated.
