Jb's Famous Crab Cake Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and salt.

2. 2

   Add Eggs and Breadcrumbs

   Crack the eggs into the mixture and mix until well combined. Gradually fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture is cohesive.

3. 3

   Chop and Incorporate Green Onions

   Finely chop the green onions and gently fold them into the crab mixture. Make sure not to break up the crab meat too much.

4. 4

   Season the Mixture

   Add black pepper to the mixture and adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.

5. 5

   Chill the Mixture

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

6. 6

   Form the Crab Cakes

   Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator and form it into patties, about 3 inches in diameter.

7. 7

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.

8. 8

   Cook the Crab Cakes

   Carefully place the crab cakes into the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

9. 9

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
