Ingredients
-
1 egg, beaten
-
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons green onion tops
-
¼ teaspoon Chesapeake seasoning, such as Old Bay(r)
-
¼ teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
-
1 pound lump or backfin crabmeat, drained and picked over for shells
-
4 teaspoons milk
-
10 saltine crackers, finely crushed
-
6 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
-
Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
-
Mix egg, mayonnaise, green onions, Old Bay and hot sauce in a small bowl until mayo is completely incorporated, then set aside.
-
Lightly break up crabmeat in a medium bowl. Add milk; toss gently to coat. Add crushed saltines; toss gently to combine. Add egg mixture; gently toss, once again, to combine. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop up a portion of crab, forming the mixture into a very compact cake. Repeat to make 8 cakes (can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 8 hours ahead).
-
About 10 minutes before serving, heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Carefully add crab cakes; sautee turning once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
