Time 26m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (I use light mayo)
2 tablespoons minced green onion tops
1/4 tablespoon chesapeake seasoning, such as Old Bay
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 lb crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells (lump or backfin)
4 teaspoons milk
10 saltine crackers, finely crushed (I use the fat-free variety)
6 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
lemon wedge, for serving
tartar sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Mix egg, mayonaise, onion tops,Old Bay,and hot sauce in a small bowl until mayo is completely incorporated, then set aside.
  • Lightly break up crabmeat in a medium bowl.
  • Add milk and toss gently to coat.
  • Add crushed saltines and toss gently to combine.
  • Add egg mixture, gently toss, once again, to combine.
  • Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop up a portion of crab, forming the mixture into a very compact cake.
  • Repeat to make 8 cakes. Can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 8 hours ahead.
  • About 10 minutes before serving, heat oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Carefully add crab cakes and saute', turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges and/or your favorite tartar sauce.

These crab cakes were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more Old Bay seasoning next time.
