New! 30 minute meal! Crab Cakes- homemade and delicious! This recipe creates restaurant quality crab cakes and is more simple that you might imagine. I won't lie, crab cakes can be intimidating to make at home. Luckily, this recipe combines high quality ingredients with easy to follow instructions to make these crab cakes any night of the week. We used our favorite @OurPlace #AlwaysPan to pan fry the crab cakes and served with grilled veggies, @TraderJoes Cauliflower Gnocchi and our Alfredo Tomato Sauce. Enjoy friends! 

Yields3 Servings
Prep Time20 minsCook Time10 minsTotal Time30 mins

 16 oz Jumbo Lump Crab- see picture below, we found ours @Costco
 1/3 cup Mayo
 1 Egg
 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
 1/4 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt
 1 tbsp heaping Panko Breadcrumbs
 Drizzle EVOO
 2 tsp Lemon Juice- squeezed over crab cakes to finish
 1 tsp Fresh Chives- diced over crab cakes to finish

1

In a medium bowl, wisk: mayo, egg, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, season salt and Panko breadcrumbs until all ingredients are mixed well.

2

Gently fold in lump crab with a spoon until well combined but do not overmix.

3

Place bowl covered in the fridge to chill for at least 10 minutes.

4

In a medium skillet (we used our favorite @AlwaysPan from @OurPlace), heat over medium heat. Drizzle EVOO to lightly cover the bottom of the pan.

5

Form the ~7 (2oz each) crab cakes on a plate. Gently transfer one at a time to the pan. We were able to pan fry 3 crab cakes at a time to allow separation while cooking. Pan fry the crab cakes for 5 minutes, then flip and pan fry for an addition 5 minutes or until the crab cakes are fully cooked and golden on each side. Squeeze lemon juice and diced chives over each crab cake to finish. Enjoy!
