Crabcakes Ingredients

Method

Crabcakes Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix Thoroughly

    Gently fold the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.

  4. 4

    Form the Crabcakes

    After chilling, use your hands to form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.

  6. 6

    Cook the Crabcakes

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crabcakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the crabcakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your choice of sauce.
