Crispy Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation of Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Forming the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chilling

    Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  4. 4

    Cooking the Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Serve warm with Calabrian chili aïoli on the side.
