Crab Cake

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions (about 4 ounces each) and form them into patties. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Crab Cakes

    Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the brioche buns until golden. Place a crab cake on the bottom half of each bun, add lettuce and tomato slices, and top with tartar sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun.
