Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cakes

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

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
