Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon-style prepared mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pound crabmeat
• 2 slices white bread, crusts trimmed
• 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
• 1 large egg, beaten

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Break bread into small pieces and add to crab meat. Add beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, mayonnaise, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Mix by hand to avoid overworking crab meat; you want to keep the lumps of meat as much as possible. Form into 6 patties.

Step 3

Fry patties in hot butter until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 4

Place crab meat in a large bowl and remove any remaining shell pieces.
