Crab Cake Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into 12 equal-sized cakes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Cakes

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the crab cakes warm with your choice of dipping sauce or salad.
