Mini Crab Cake Recipe

Mini Crab Cake

1. 1

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and egg. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.

2. 2

   Add Bread Crumbs and Green Onions

   Add the bread crumbs and chopped green onions to the crab mixture. Stir until just combined. The mixture should hold together when formed into a patty; if too wet, add more bread crumbs.

3. 3

   Form the Crab Cakes

   Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. You should be able to make approximately 8 mini crab cakes.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking before adding the crab cakes.

5. 5

   Cook the Crab Cakes

   Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; you might need to do this in batches.

6. 6

   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.
