Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the lump crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill the Crab Cakes

    Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  6. 6

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
