Crabcake Preparation

Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and the egg. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Add Vegetables and Seasoning
Chop the green onions finely and add them to the mixture. Then, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together but is still chunky.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crabcake mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.

Form the Crabcakes

Cook the Crabcakes
Carefully add the crabcakes to the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
