Cooking & Serving
Method
Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture
- 1
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and finely chopped green onion. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.

Add Binder
Add the beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper to the crab mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should hold together but not be overly wet.

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