Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, green onions, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until all ingredients are well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

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

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

    Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the crab cakes and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

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