Enjoy these simple and savory crab cake taste sensations. I learned to make these from my beloved mother-in-law, but Grammy never uses a recipe. I measured every pinch and dash while she made them. This is one of our all-time family favorites. There are never any leftovers. Crab cakes are best if made with fresh crab, but they are great with canned crab as well.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked crabmeat, drained
- 1 ½ tablespoons dry bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon minced green onion, or to taste (Optional)
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Lightly grease a broiler pan or baking sheet.
Step 2
Shred crabmeat and place in a medium bowl with bread crumbs and parsley. Mix together and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Whisk egg, mayonnaise, green onion, dry mustard, and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl. Add to crabmeat mixture and mix well. Form into 6 patties and place on the prepared pan. Brush tops with melted butter.
Step 4
Cook under the preheated broiler until lightly browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Cook’s Note:
You can use panko bread crumbs or crushed saltine crackers in place of the dry bread crumbs.
