Ingredients

Crab Cakes

Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, parsley, and lemon juice. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much; you want to maintain the lumps.

2. Form the Cakes

Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

3. Broil the Crab Cakes

Preheat your broiler to high. Place the crab cakes on a greased baking sheet and broil for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
