Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot when the crab cakes go in.

2

Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

3

Form the Cakes

Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 ounces each. You should be able to make approximately 8-10 mini crab cakes.

4

Heat the Oil

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

5

Fry the Crab Cakes

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

6

Bake the Crab Cakes

Transfer the fried crab cakes to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

7

Serve

Remove the crab cakes from the oven. Serve warm with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce if desired.
