Ingredients

1 large egg

2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce, or to taste

Few drops of lemon juice (no more than about 1/4 teaspoon)

2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Fresh ground black pepper

1/2 cup crushed Ritz Crackers

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 pound fresh jumbo lump crabmeat -- drained of all excess liquid

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco, lemon juice, Old Bay, salt and pepper. Mix so that all the ingredients are well-incorporated.

Add the cracker crumbs and parsley and mix well.

Gently fold in crabmeat until just combined (try not to break up lumps of crabmeat).

Using wet hands, shape mixture into 6 patties---8 patties if you like them smaller (do not pack too firmly; cakes should be as loose as possible and still hold their shape).

Put the crab cakes on a large platter or cookie sheet as they're shaped. Cover with foil and refrigerate at least 1 hour before cooking.

Set oven on Broil ( around 450 ) and place crab cakes a non stick sprayed cookie sheet. Put crab cakes in oven on medium height rack.

After 3 minutes of initial cooking time open oven to turn crab cakes over

using a spatula and your hands. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon and tartar sauce.

These are so great and loaded with crab. One of my favorite crab cake recipes ever. Great post!

This sounds like a winner. Very traditional in the sense that you don't have too many ingrediants which could overpower the flavor of the crab. I'm from Baltimore so I grew up eating crabs. I still love them, no matter what the going price is.
