Cheddar Bay Crab Cakes with Lemon Butter Drizzle
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
For the Lemon Butter Drizzle:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Crab Cake Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, shredded Cheddar, crushed Cheddar Bay biscuit mix (or substitute), mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together until well-mixed, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Form and Chill the Crab Cakes:
Shape the mixture into 6-8 small patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
