Old Ebbitt Grill Crab Cakes
Ingredients:
– 1 lb lump crab meat, picked over for shells
– 1/4 cup mayonnaise
– 1 large egg
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs, plus extra for coating
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Lemon wedges, for serving
– Tartar sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and Panko breadcrumbs. Gently fold the mixture together until well combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
2. Using your hands, shape the crab mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, about 3 inches in diameter. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the crab cakes for at least 30 minutes. This will help them hold their shape while cooking.
4. In a large skillet, melt the butter together with the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Coat each crab cake lightly with additional Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
6. Carefully place the crab cakes in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
8. Serve the crab cakes hot, garnished with lemon wedges and accompanied by tartar sauce if desired.
