Crab Cake Mixture

For Cooking

Method

Prepare the Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until they are well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add the Egg and Onions

    Add the egg and finely chopped green onions to the crab mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Breadcrumbs

    Gradually add the breadcrumbs to the mixture, stirring gently until the mixture holds together. If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs until the desired consistency is reached.

Form the Crab Cakes

  1. 4

    Shape the Mixture

    Using your hands, take about 2 ounces of the crab mixture and form it into a patty. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.

Cook the Crab Cakes

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 6

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
