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

Shape the Crab Cakes
Once the mixture is well combined, form it into 4 equal-sized patties. Make sure to compact them well to hold their shape during cooking.

Chill the Crab Cakes
Place the crab cakes on a plate, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.
