preparation
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease 1 mini muffin tin and 1/2 of another with cooking spray. Set aside until needed.
2. In your electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then add 1/4 cup Parmesan and the egg beat until combined. Add the yogurt, Dijon, sriracha, zest, and 4 teaspoons chopped chives, salt, and spices, mix until smooth. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the crab meat and 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs with a spatula.
3. In a small bowl mix melted butter and left over 1 cup panko. Press 1 rounded teaspoon of panko into your prepared muffin tins. Then top with 1/2-1 tablespoon of crab filling. Repeat until you have used all the crumbs & crab filling.
4. Place in the oven and bake for 25-10 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes then move to cooling racks. To reheat, place baking sheet and cook in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
5. While your crab cakes are cooking you can prepare the aioli - In the bowl of your food processor w/ blade attachment add your egg yolk & process. Whisk in the lime juice, yogurt and mustard.
6. Slowly trickle in the oils, one at a time, through the opening in your processor while the blade is whisking constantly. Continue until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture has emulsified.
7. Add the garlic cloves and cilantro, allowing it all to be processed and incorporated. Season with kosher salt to taste.
