The perfect Maryland crab cake

the perfect Maryland crab cake

Ingredients:

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 lb crab meat (I used 1 can jumbo lump and 1 can legs)
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup mayo (Duke’s!)
• 2 1/2 T Dijon mustard
• 3-4 shakes Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
•  1 pinch sea salt flakes
• 2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

The How To:

1. Mix everything but the crab together in a bowl.
2. Gently fold in crab meat.
3. Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
5. Using 1/2 cup measure, cup mixture loosely on to baking sheet with baking mat, lightly sprayed with nonstick spray. Gently form without squishing. You should have six mounds.
6. Bake 12-14 minutes until light brown. Don’t overcook!

We served these, two per person, alongside some sautéed corn and a baked potato. A very yellow dish!
