Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Old Bay until well-combined.
    1 egg, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon hot sauce, ⅓ teaspoon Old Bay seafood seasoning
  • Stir in the red bell pepper, scallion, and dry bread crumbs.
    ½ cup red bell pepper, 1 scallion, ¼ cup dry bread crumbs
  • Gently stir in the crab. You want the crab meat to be just barely incorporated into the rest of the mixture.
    1 lb crab meat
  • Put the Panko bread crumbs on a plate.
    ½ cup Panko bread crumbs
  • Divide the crab mixture into 8 portions, shaping each portion into a ball and then rolling it in the Panko crumbs. Once covered, place the ball on the baking sheet and flatten to form a patty. Repeat until you have 8 patties.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the patties are golden brown on the bottom.
  • Carefully flip the crab cakes over and bake for another 10 minutes.
