Crab Cake

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, salt, and pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into large patties, about 3 inches in diameter. You should get around 4-6 crab cakes.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the shaped crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil 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 cooked through.
