Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onion, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the cakes hold their shape.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cakes

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
