Mini Crab Cakes Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crab Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and chopped green onion. Mix well until combined.

2. 2

   Add the Egg and Bread Crumbs

   Crack the egg into the crab mixture and mix until it is evenly incorporated. Gradually add the bread crumbs while mixing until the mixture holds together but is not overly dry.

3. 3

   Season the Mixture

   Season the crab mixture with salt and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.

4. 4

   Form the Cakes

   Using your hands, form the crab mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

6. 6

   Cook the Crab Cakes

   Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
