Meal Type: Seafood

Ingredients
1 lb jumbo lump crab
1/3 cup mayo
1 tsp Worcestershire
1/2-1 tsp whole grain old style mustard
1/2-1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp Old Bay
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tbls fresh chopped parsley
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
Fresh ground black pepper
Directions
- Whisk the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, pepper and salt together in a large bowl. Place the crab meat on top, followed by the bread crumbs. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently and carefully fold together. You don’t want to break up that crab meat!
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
- Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet. (Don’t flatten!) Use your hands or a spoon to compact each individual mound so there aren’t any lumps sticking out or falling apart. For extra flavor, brush each with melted butter. This is optional but recommended!
- Bake for 10 minutes, turn oven to broil and broil for 2 mins or until lightly browned on top. Drizzle each with fresh lemon juice and serve warm.
