Method
Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture
- 1
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Form the Crab Cakes
Once the mixture is well combined, form it into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill the Mixture
Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the crab cakes hold their shape during cooking.
