Ingredients
Scale
1 pound lump crab meat
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 egg
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For best results, chill the crab cake mixture for at least 30 minutes before frying.
These crab cakes can be baked in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes for a healthier option.
Serve with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor.
