Method

Crab Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, egg, green onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.

  2. 2

    Form Cakes

    Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up.

Cooking Crab Cakes

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook Cakes

    Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Drain

    Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
