Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Carefully fold in the breadcrumbs into the crab mixture until incorporated. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Chill Patties

    Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
