Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. You should be able to make about 6-8 cakes.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold together.

  4. 4

    Cook Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
