Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Once the mixture is well combined, form it into 4 equal-sized crab cakes, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  3. 3

    Cook 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 they are golden brown and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Garnishes

    Slice the ripe avocado and tomato. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place a generous handful of mixed greens on the bottom half of each brioche bun. Top with a cooked crab cake, slices of avocado, and tomato. Place the top half of the bun on top.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or side.
