Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lump crab meat
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, Dijon mustard, and the egg. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. If the mixture is too soft to form patties, refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the bottom with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Cook the crab cakes in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Transfer the cooked crab cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon.
