Method
Crab Cakes Directions
- 1
Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper.

Mix Until Combined
Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Form the Cakes
Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed crab cakes onto a plate or tray.
- 4
Chill the Crab Cakes
Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook the Crab Cakes
Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
