Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup tartar sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, egg, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Form the mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Be careful when flipping to avoid crumbling.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or under a broiler until golden.
Assemble the Crabby Patties by placing a cooked crab patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a dollop of tartar sauce.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
