My Mom makes these crab cakes and they are so delicious. We have a recipe that we use a lot that I shared here, but this is a new way of making them and I love it because you can bake them in the oven instead of having to pan fry them. It makes it a lot easier when you are trying to serve to guests and it’s really just a few simple ingredients!
If you can get great, fresh crabmeat; that is key!!
Maryland Crabcake Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb jumbo lump crabmeat, drained
1 Lemon
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning or Creole Seasoning
1 egg
1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp parsley
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2-3 pieces of white bread
Instructions
Sprinkle crabmeat with Old Bay seasoning, pepper and a little fresh lemon juice.
Mix together egg, mayo, parsley and mustard. Crumble bread (don’t use crust) and add to mixture.
Add in the crab meat, gently.
Shape into 3 or 4 large cakes and wrap in Saran Wrap and let refrigerate for a few hours. This helps keep the crab cakes together.
Meanwhile, butter a jellyroll pan (cookie sheet) and preheat oven to a low broil. Place crab cakes on cookie sheet, cook for about 10 minutes.
Pour some melted butter, fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning on each one and serve it up!
** I love serving mine with a little mix of Sirachi Mayo on top. Just mix together a little mayo and Sirachi sauce together! So yummy.
Oh my, these look amazing! My parents live at the beach so we eat a LOT of crab when we visit them. Going to try this recipe next time!
