Crab Cake Mixture

For Cooking

Method

Prepare Crab Cake Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped green onions.

  2. 2

    Add Binding Agents

    Add the bread crumbs and the egg to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Mix Carefully

    Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Form and Cook Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Shape Crab Cakes

    Divide the mixture into small portions and shape each portion into a mini crab cake, about 2 inches in diameter.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

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

  3. 6

    Cook Crab Cakes

    Place the mini crab cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
