Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed frozen lump crab meat with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together to ensure the crab meat remains intact.

Add Breadcrumbs
Slowly add the breadcrumbs to the mixture, folding them in until fully incorporated. The mixture should hold together but not be overly dry.

Form the Crab Cakes
Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place the formed patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
