This classic crab cakes recipe is guaranteed to be a family favorite. I make them for holidays or special occasions and they never last long.
Remove the crust from 5-6 slices of white bread. Buzz the bread in a food processor to form fresh breadcrumbs. You’ll need 1 cup total. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, egg, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Whisk well.
Add the drained crab meat, (option to add a touch of the crab juice if you like a stronger crab flavor) and gently fold everything together trying to not break the jumbo lump crab meat.
Next, gently fold in the homemade breadcrumbs. Form into patties, cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Oven Baking
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking tray with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the crab cakes to the tray and bake for 13-15 minutes. Larger crab cakes may require more time. You want the internal temperature to reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure doneness. Option to flip halfway to prevent the any one side from getting too brown.
