Crab Cakes
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Crab Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onion, Old Bay seasoning, and the beaten egg. Mix gently until just combined.
- 2
Add Bread Crumbs
Gradually fold in the bread crumbs until the mixture holds together but is not overly dry. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more bread crumbs.
- 3
Form Patties
Using your hands, form small patties (about 2 inches in diameter) from the mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 4
Chill
Cover the patties with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- 5
Cook the Crab Cakes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
