Crab Cake Mixture
Cooking
Method
Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture
- 1
Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much; you want to keep some lumps for texture.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cake mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors meld and make the mixture easier to form into patties.

Form the Patties
After chilling, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. You should be able to make around 8-10 patties.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet, about 1/4 inch deep.

Cook the Crab Cakes
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary.
