- 8 oz crab meat drained, rinsed, and picked through for shells
- 1 egg room tempurature
- 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1.5 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs + more for breading
- Old Bay seasoning to taste optional
- 1/2 tbsp high heat cooking oil avocado, grapeseed
Rinse, drain, and pick through the crab meat for shells.
Combine all ingredients except for oil in a medium sized bowl, and heat a medium sized skillet over medium high heat. Taste test the mixture and add salt/Old Bay to taste (if you're worried about raw egg, add this last).
Form the mixture into four equal sized patties, or eight small patties if you're making an appetizer. Roll the patties into additional panko bread crumbs.
Add oil to pan. Once oil is shimmering, add the crab cakes and cook for five minutes per side, or until a golden crust forms.
Serve with cocktail or remoulade sauce, and enjoy!
