New England Crab Cakes

 

This dish is from Maine and is AMAZING! These cakes are just so delectable that they virtually dissolve in your mouth! They go well with seafood pasta salad, boiled potatoes, or fresh steamed vegetables.

 

1 pound crabmeat

½ cup dry bread crumbs

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning

2 tablespoons butter

 

Combine the bread crumbs and crab meat in a medium mixing basin. Combine the beaten egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning in a mixing bowl. Mix these ingredients lightly, taking care not to overwork the crab flesh. Make Eight round, flat crab cakes.

 

In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Fry the cakes until crispy and golden brown on both sides. Serve hot.
