Mini Crabcake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onion, parsley, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or tray.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Crab Cakes

    Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

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