Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, mix the fresh lump blue crab, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the mixture to combine without breaking the crab meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the crab mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the formed crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them set.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
