1 large egg, beaten to blend
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 pound fresh crabmeat, drained well, picked over
2 tablespoons olive oil

Mix egg, mayonnaise, chives, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, hot pepper sauce and remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs in medium bowl to blend. Gently fold in crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Using 2 tablespoons for each, form crab mixture into ten 3-inch-diameter cakes. Coat crab cakes with breadcrumbs in dish, pressing breadcrumbs to adhere. Transfer crab cakes to prepared baking sheet.
