Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, bread crumbs, and chopped green onion. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or tray.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while cooking.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
