Speedy Homemade Crab Cakes Prepared in Just 20 Minutes
Baked crab cakes are a delightful dish that offers a crispy exterior and a tender interior, making them a hit at parties and family gatherings. This recipe is easy to follow, and with a few simple steps, you can have these crowd-pleasing treats ready in no time.
To start, gather your ingredients: 1 pound of fresh crab meat, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon each of paprika, salt, and black pepper, 1/2 cup of plain breadcrumbs, and 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
Begin by mixing the crab meat, egg, Dijon mustard, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise, parsley, breadcrumbs, and seasonings in a large mixing bowl. Remember to be gentle with the mixture to avoid overworking the crab, which can lead to dense and sad crab cakes.
Chilling the mixture for 30 minutes before shaping the patties makes it easier to handle. After chilling, shape the mixture into uniform patties, ensuring they are all of the same thickness for even baking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the shaped patties on it. Bake the crab cakes in a 350°F oven or an air fryer for about 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
For longer storage, freeze the baked crab cakes on a baking sheet first, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. For refrigerated storage, place the crab cakes in an airtight container and consume them within 3 days.
Serve the baked crab cakes with lemon wedges and tartar sauce. A squeeze of fresh lemon over the reheated crab cakes brings back that just-made brightness, enhancing the dish's flavour.
While the origins of this delicious baked crab cakes recipe are unknown, one thing is certain: they are a healthier option without sacrificing crunch. Enjoy these crowd-pleasing treats at your next gathering, and watch them disappear fast!
