Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, beaten eggs, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add Other Ingredients

    Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and breadcrumbs. Be careful not to break the crab meat apart too much.

  3. 3

    Shape the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into large patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Once hot, add the crab cakes (working in batches if necessary) and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes hot, drizzled with creole mustard butter or your favorite sauce.
