Categories     Shellfish     Broil

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound jumbo lump or backfin crab meat
2 slices white bread
1 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. Old Bay seasonings
1 tbsp. chopped parsley
1 egg
tartar sauce or cocktail sauce

Steps:

  • Beat the egg in a bowl. Trim the crusts from the bread and break the slices into small pieces. Add these pieces to the egg. Mix in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning and parsley, and beat well. Place the crabmeat in a bowl and pour the egg mixture over the top. Gently toss or fold the ingredients together, taking care not to break up the lumps of crabmeat. Form the cakes by hand into patties about 3 inches around and 3/4-inch thick. Place the crab cakes in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes before cooking. This is very important so the crab cakes don't fall apart. Slip them under a preheated broiler until nicely browned, turning to cook evenly, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Serve Maryland Crab Cakes with tartar sauce, mustard, or cocktail sauce on the side.
