Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh crab meat (1 pound)
Mayonnaise (1/4 cup)
Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
Worcestershire sauce (1 teaspoon)
Old Bay seasoning (1 tablespoon)
Egg (1, beaten)
Panko breadcrumbs (1/2 cup)
Butter (2 tablespoons)
Buns (4, toasted)
Lettuce (4 leaves)
Tomato (4 slices)
Tartar sauce (to taste)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 3 inches in diameter. Ensure they are packed tightly to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and hot, add the crab cakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
While the crab cakes are cooking, spread tartar sauce on the toasted buns.
Once cooked, place a crab cake on each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
Serve the crab cake sandwiches immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy this delightful taste of the Chesapeake Bay!
