Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Form the Mixture

    Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Shape the Cakes

    Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and form it into 8 crab cakes, about 3 inches in diameter.

Cooking the Crab Cakes

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Add the crab cakes to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.

  3. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
