1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp prepared mustard
1/4 tsp ground red pepper

The crab cakes fell apart when I was cooking them. I think I'll use more bread crumbs next time.

The crab cakes were a bit dry. I think I'll add more mayonnaise next time.

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Old Bay seasoning next time.
