Classic Crab Cakes
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can canned crabmeat, drained
  • 8 ounces buttery round crackers, crushed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs) or regular dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, or as needed
Instructions
1
Preheat the skillet by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil over extremely high heat. Once hot, sauté the green onions in the scorching oil until they become soft and palatable; set them aside to cool down slightly.
2
Mix together the crabmeat, sautéed green onions, crushed crackers, egg, mayonnaise, dry mustard, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl. Combine these ingredients to form ten 1/2-inch-thick patties.
3
Prepare the coating station by placing bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Gently press each patty into the bread crumbs to coat them evenly.
4
Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, cook the patties in it until they turn golden brown on both sides. Remove them briefly from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to serve immediately.
