Crab Cake Mixture

For Cooking

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, beaten egg, and bread crumbs. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Add salt and black pepper to the mixture according to your taste preference. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much while mixing.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Form the Crab Cakes

    Using your hands, shape the crab mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.

  3. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, leaving space between each one. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or lemon wedges.
