Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Crab Cakes:

    • 1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells
    • 1/2 cup Cheddar Bay biscuit mix
    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
    • 2 green onions, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

    For the Lemon Butter Drizzle:

    1. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    2. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    3. 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Cakes:

    • In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, biscuit mix, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, green onions, cheddar cheese, and parsley. Avoid overmixing to keep the crab meat intact.
    • Shape the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties and place them on a lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.

  2. Cook the Crab Cakes:

    • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom with a thin layer of oil.
    • Cook the crab cakes for 3–4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and heated through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. Make the Lemon Butter Drizzle:

    • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the lemon juice and minced garlic, cooking for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

  4. Serve:

    • Drizzle the warm lemon butter sauce over the crab cakes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

  • You can serve these crab cakes with a side of fresh vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
  • The crab cakes can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a day before cooking.

 

  • For a bit of extra flavor, sprinkle a bit more Old Bay seasoning on top before serving.
