Crab Cakes

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped green onions, bread crumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with spicy remoulade.
