Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, and beaten egg. Mix gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Breadcrumbs

    Fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  5. 5

    Cook the Cakes

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of sauce.
