Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 8 oz crab meat, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1 beaten egg until just combined. Shape into 2 patties.
Step 2
Coat the patties with the remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Cook the patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Toast the 2 bread slices in the same skillet until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
Step 4
Place the cooked crab cakes on the toasted bread, top with the 2 lettuce leaves, and close the sandwich. Serve warm.
