Crab Cake Mixture

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Crab and Egg

    Gently fold in the jumbo lump crab meat and the eggs into the mixture. Be careful not to break the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Breadcrumbs and Parsley

    Add the breadcrumbs and chopped parsley to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined but still chunky.

  4. 4

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  6. 6

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
