Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently mix together the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onion, and salt and pepper until combined.

  2. 2

    Add Egg and Breadcrumbs

    Add the egg and breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should be able to make about 6-8 crab cakes.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Place the formed crab cakes on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a 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 heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and serve hot, garnished with additional green onions or your choice of dipping sauce.
