Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped green onions.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Season

    Add salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the mixture firm up.

Cooking Steps

  1. 5

    Form the Cakes

    After the mixture has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Using your hands, form the mixture into patties (about 1/2 cup each).

  2. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  3. 7

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the patties in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 8

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
