Homemade Maryland Crab Cakes Recipe
This delicious classic recipe for homemade Maryland style crab cakes is the perfect appetizer to serve up to your guests.
Crab cakes are a combination of lump crab mixed with spices, eggs, mayonnaise, and breadcrumbs that are then formed into balls and deep fried. They are most often served as an appetizer, and you’ll even see them as a sandwich.
Ingredients for this recipe:
For the Crab Cakes:
• 1 pound jumbo lump crab
• 1 large egg
• 1 ½ teaspoons old bay seasoning
• 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
• 1 cup buttered cracker breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup oil
For the Optional Sauce:
• 1 cup bechamel sauce
• 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
• 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
Serves 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Procedures:
1. Crab Cakes: Gently combine the crab, egg, old bay, Worcestershire, mayonnaise, Dijon, and 2/3 cup cracker crumbs until thoroughly mixed.
2. Form the mixture into 6 crab cakes by rolling into tight balls and gently pressing down to flatten.
3. Coat each crab cake in the remaining 1/3 cup of unused cracker crumbs and then place them on a plate or a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
4. Pour the oil into a large frying pan over medium heat.
5. Once the oil is hot, add in the crab cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Set aside to drain on a rack or paper towels.
7. For the Sauce: Heat the bechamel in a sauté pan until hot and whisk in the mustards until combined.
8. Serve the sauce alongside of the cooked crab cakes and garnish the crab cakes optionally with chopped parsley.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: Crab cakes are meant to be eaten as soon as they are cooked. If you have to you can make them up to 1 hour ahead of time and keep them warm in the oven on a sheet tray with a rack at 225°.
How to Reheat: Place the crab cake in a pan and place them in the oven at 350° for 3-4 minutes or until hot. You can also heat in the microwave until hot.
How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
To keep the crab cake from falling apart it is imperative there is enough mayonnaise and an egg that is thoroughly mixed in. It is also important to compact the crab cake well with your hands when forming them.
Crab cakes are most often eaten with a sauce or with greens.
The flavor is better if you fry the crab cakes, but you can bake them on a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper at 375° F for 13-18 minutes.

Maryland Crab Cakes
I don’t particularly enjoy making cooking videos because it’s time consuming. But this one is for you Mum and the rest of the gang. Happy Mother’s Day!
With love,
Your Favorite ????
P.S.
YES, there’s Old Bay and oyster crackers in this recipe. Why people think there’s no Old Bay (I showed a big can of Old Bay as reference) and oyster crackers in this recipe when I literally showed it in this video. And yes, you can use bread crumbs, saltine crackers or white bread soak in a little bit of milk. Use whatever you have. If you’re missing a certain ingredient, don’t let this stop you from cooking. Use what’s available to you.
Since I only post cooking videos when I feel like it, there’s no need to subscribe.
_______________________________________________________
Chef’s Note: Broil the crab cakes on the top rack for 14 minutes on low. And then 1 minute on high to give it a nice crust.

Shopping List:
Slider Rolls (optional)
1 lb Lump and/or Jumbo Lump Crab Meat
1/2 cup mayo
1 egg
1 tbs dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce
1 lemon
1 tbs sweet pickle juice
1 pinch of sugar (as needed)
Old Bay (to taste)
chopped parsley
20-25 saltine crackers (crushed into crumbs) - 1 sleeve of crackers
salt & pepper
Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato (optional for slider)
Tartar Sauce:
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup sweet relish
1/2 shallot diced
2 tbsp capers (optional)
1 tbsp white sugar
1 lemon
2 tbsps diced parsley
salt and pepper
Directions:
Crush your crackers into bread crumbs. In a large mixing bowl, make your sauce by combining the mayo, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, sweet pickle juice, dijon mustard, and seasoning. Mix to combine and season to taste. After tasting and adjusting, whisk in 1 egg. Next, fold in your crab meat carefully, so that you do not break apart the large chunks of crab meat. Next, begin to fold in the bread crumbs a little at a time. Once the crab cake mixture holds together, place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Next, preheat oven to 450. Add foil to a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Melt 1/2 stick of butter in the microwave. Form crab mixture into desired size crab cakes and place on the baking sheet. Top with old bay and place into the oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste with melted butter. Place under the broiler for 2-5 minutes to finish and brown the top. (Keep an eye on it so it doesn't brown too much)
