Crab Cake Mixture

Cooking

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the blue crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and egg. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs and Vegetables

    Fold in the breadcrumbs and chopped green onions into the crab mixture until evenly distributed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate.

Cooking the Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
