Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Crab Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Crab Cake Ingredients

    In a large bowl, gently mix together the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Patties

    Refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.
