Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the lump blue crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Shape the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Pan-Sear the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
