In a large mixing bowl combine crabmeat, chives, cheese, parsley, mustard, mayonnaise the cooled cooked vegetables and 3/4 cups of bread crumbs. Mix together well. In a small bowl (pie pan is easier if available) put flour and 2 tbsp of creole seasoning mixing well, in another eggs and water whisking together well (again pie pan is easier), in a third bowl put remaining bread crumbs and 2 tbsp creole seasoning mixing well.

Coat tart tray with non-stick spray., Form crab cake mix into somewhat round ball put into flour and roll around (with 2 forks) to coat evenly. Move into egg mixture and coat well (use 2 separate forks, keeps flour, egg and crumbs from mixing). Move into bread crumb and roll around to coat evenly (same old 2 separate forks).
