Crispy Crab Cake Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onion, egg, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

2. 2

   Form the Cakes

   Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should be able to make around 6-8 crab cakes.

3. 3

   Chill the Cakes

   Place the formed crab cakes on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

4. 4

   Cook the Cakes

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm as a topping for salads or on their own with your favorite dipping sauce.
