Method

For the Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the crab cakes to the skillet in batches and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
