Crab Burger Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onion, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil if necessary. Cook the crab patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the burger buns lightly. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add the crab patty, top with sliced tomato and avocado. Finish with the top bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the burgers.
