Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 14 Ritz crackers , finely crushed
- 16 oz lump crab meat , pick through to remove any extra shells (if necessary)
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning , plus more for sprinkling tops
- Dash black pepper
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to center position. Preheat oven to low broil (450°F). Line large baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick spray.
- Toss the crab and cracker crumbs in a large bowl; set aside. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a smaller bowl, stir to thoroughly mix. Pour mixture into crab bowl and mix gently until evenly coated.
- With a 3 tablespoon sized cookie scoop, drop mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle more Old Bay seasoning on top. Broil on "low" for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Notes
- You can substitute ½ cup dry breadcrumbs for the Ritz crackers.
- This recipe makes 12 small (1.5 oz) crab cakes, with 3 crab cakes as 1 serving. You can make 4 large (4.5 oz) crab cakes, but may need to bake a few minute longer.
- This recipe can be doubled by doubling all ingredients, but do not change the baking time.
