Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 lb fresh lump crab meat
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Let’s Get Cooking!
- First things first, take a large bowl and gently pick through the crab meat to make sure there are no shells hanging around. We want it all smooth sailing!
- Add in the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix all of that goodness together carefully. You wanna keep those crab chunks nice and chunky!
- Shape the mixture into patties—about 1 to 1.5 inches thick should do. You’ll want to get about 8 cakes from this mix. Once shaped, pop those patties into the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help them hold together better when cooking.
- Now, heat up a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once it’s nice and hot, carefully place your crab cakes in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and crispy. Your kitchen is about to smell heavenly!
- Once cooked, transfer those beauties onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
- Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon. Trust me, they won’t last long!
There you have it! Simple, tasty, and oh-so-satisfying Maryland Crab Cakes that’ll impress family and friends alike. Enjoy every bite, and remember: good food is meant to be shared!
