Maine-Style Crab Cakes
Ingredients
  • 1 pound crabmeat
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
  • 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1
Combine the bread crumbs and crab meat in a medium-sized bowl, taking care to avoid compacting or mashing the delicate crab flesh. In a separate container, whisk together the beaten egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay Seasoning until well combined. Gently fold the egg mixture into the bread crumb and crab meat mixture, handling it with care to preserve the tender texture of the crab. Shape the mixture into 8 round, flat patties.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crab cakes on each side until they develop a crispy, golden-brown crust and are heated through. Serve the crab cakes warm.
