Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, egg, green onion, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Use your hands to shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed crab cakes on a plate.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the cakes hold together.

  4. 4

    Cook Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

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