Maryland Style Crab Cake Recipe

Crab Cake Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and salt and pepper. Gently fold in the bread crumbs, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh parsley until everything is well mixed.

2. 2

   Form the Cakes

   Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place the formed cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Chill the Cakes

   Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cakes to firm up.

4. 4

   Cook the Cakes

   Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Once hot, gently place the crab cakes in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
