RECIPE BY CHEF TONY TEEMS

INGREDIENTS FOR MARYLAND LUMP CRAB CAKES

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 11/2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (up to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons for a spicier kick)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound fresh lump crab meat*
  • 2/3 cup Saltine cracker crumbs (about 14 crackers)
  • optional: 2 Tablespoons melted salted or unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS – MARYLAND LUMP CRAB CAKES

  1. Whisk the egg, mayonnaise, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, lemon juice, and salt together in a large bowl. Place the crab meat on top, followed by the cracker crumbs. With a rubber spatula or large spoon, very gently and carefully fold together. You don’t want to break up that crab meat!
  2. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  3. Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously grease a rimmed baking sheet with butter or nonstick spray or line with a silicone baking mat.
  4. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, portion the crab cake mixture into 6 mounds on the baking sheet (Don’t flatten!). Use your hands or a spoon to compact each individual mound so there aren’t any lumps sticking out or falling apart. Brush each crab cake with melted butter.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned around the edges and on top. Drizzle each with fresh lemon juice and serve warm.

Bon appetit. Enjoy your Maryland lump crab cakes!
