Combine crab, egg, crumbled crackers, mustard and chervil. Mix lightly, being careful not to break up the crab. Divide and form into 4 mid-sized or 6 small cakes. If the mixture is too wet add a bit more cracker crumbs or a bit of bread crumbs. Once formed, squeeze firmly so the mixture holds together. Coat lightly with bread crumbs and fry preheated pan until brown then carefully turn and brown the other side.
