Crab Cakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine blue crabmeat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently to combine, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

  2. 2

    Form the Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Chill the Cakes

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Crab Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the chilled crab cakes to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
