How To make Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes
Ingredients
1
each
egg
1
teaspoon
sharp prepared mustard
1
tablespoon
lemon juice, freshly squeezed
6
tablespoon
olive oil, divided
1/2
teaspoon
salt
1
pepper, freshly ground
1
pound
lump crabmeat, picked clean
1/2
cup
dry, unflavored bread crumbs
1
cayenne pepper
4
tablespoon
butter
1
parsley
1
lemon wedges
1
tartar sauce
Directions:
Using an electric blender or wire whisk, beat together mustard, lemon juice and egg until thoroughly combined. While beating vigorously, gradually pour 4 tbs. of olive oil into the egg mixture in a thin stream. When smooth and creamy, stir in salt and pepper.
Gently fold in crabmeat, then bread crumbs and cayenne pepper. Shape into 8 patties, each about a half-inch thick. They will want to fall apart, but that's the idea of a good crab cake. You want only enough non-crab stuff to just barely bind them.
Melt butter together with remaining 2 tbs. of olive oil in skillet over medium heat. When butter sizzles (but before it burns!) gently ease the crab cakes into the skillet to cook. When well browned (2 to 3 minutes), gently turn and cook other side. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with parsley, lemon, tartar, if desired.
Makes 4 main-course servings, 8 appetizers.

Our Favorite Maryland Crab Cakes - How to Make the Best Homemade Crab Cakes
For the full Crab Cakes Recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions, please visit our recipe page on Inspired Taste:
Spending much of our childhood and young adult life in and around Maryland, we like to think we know a little when it comes to a great crab cake. We've enjoyed countless crab cakes and have come to the realization that our favorite is this one -- it's simple with few ingredients, little filler and tastes of sweet crab. When we're out at our favorite restaurants, we usually get three options for how the crab cake is cooked: fried, pan-seared and broiled. We hardly ever choose fried, but often go for pan-seared or broiled. We show you how to do both in our video. Enjoy!

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)
