Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, gently combine the colossal lump crab meat, claw crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, black pepper, and green onions. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Add Bindings

    Add the breadcrumbs and beaten egg to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should hold together; if it's too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties about 2-3 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and heated through.

  6. 6

    Serve

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