Main Ingredients

For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, eggs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Bread Crumbs

    Gradually fold in the bread crumbs into the crab mixture until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should hold together but not be overly dry.

  3. 3

    Chill Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This helps to firm up the crab cakes for easier handling.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Form Crab Cakes

    After chilling, remove the crab mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, form the mixture into large patties, about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

  2. 5

    Heat Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until hot.

  3. 6

    Cook Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
