Brunch

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine blue crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, breadcrumbs, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add Egg

    Crack the large egg into the mixture and gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. You should get about 6-8 crab cakes, depending on the size.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Place the formed crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes (in batches if necessary) and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or aioli.
