Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg, finely chopped green onions, old bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined, being careful not to break the crab meat too much.

Add Breadcrumbs
Gradually fold in the panko breadcrumbs into the crab mixture until the mixture holds together well but is not overly dry. You may adjust the amount of breadcrumbs if needed.

Form the Cakes
Using your hands, form the crab mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Set them on a plate while you heat the oil.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.

Cook the Crab Cakes
Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or garnish.
