Crab Cake Mixture

For Cooking

Method

Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture

1

Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, and beaten egg. Gently fold the ingredients together to avoid breaking the crab meat.

2

Add Breadcrumbs and Season

Sprinkle in the breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Carefully mix until just combined; do not overmix.

3

Form the Crab Cakes

Using your hands, shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties about 1 inch thick. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during cooking.

Cooking the Crab Cakes

4

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

5

Cook the Crab Cakes

Carefully add the crab cakes to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.

6

Drain and Serve

Once cooked, transfer the crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
