Crab Cake Mixture

Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, and the egg. Gently mix using a spatula until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs and Seasoning

    Sprinkle in the bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Fold the mixture gently to incorporate the bread crumbs without breaking up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Form the Crab Cakes

    After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, form the mixture into a patty shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Carefully transfer the cooked crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or tartar sauce.
