Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

1

Make the Crab Cake Mixture

In a large bowl, gently combine lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and egg until just mixed. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

2

Add Breadcrumbs

Gradually fold in the breadcrumbs until the mixture holds together. If too wet, add more breadcrumbs as needed.

3

Form the Cakes

Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

4

Pan-sear the Crab Cakes

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