| Servings: | 4 |
| Yield: | 8 crab cakes |
Ingredients
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
- ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- 1 pound lump crabmeat, drained and picked over
- 3 tablespoons milk
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 11 saltine crackers, crushed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 wedges lemon
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Combine beaten egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, seafood seasoning, and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl. Stir in green onion and set aside.
- Place crabmeat in a medium bowl and break up with a fork. Add milk, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat. Add saltine crackers and baking powder; toss lightly to combine. Add to egg mixture, stirring gently and being careful not to break apart crab lumps.
- Scoop crab with a 1/3-cup measure and form into 8 patties. Place patties on a plate, cover, and refrigerate until firm, 1 to 8 hours.
- Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Spray crab cakes on both sides with cooking spray and place in the air fryer basket.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes. Turn crab cakes over gently and continue cooking until crispy brown, about 5 minutes more.
- The top-of-the-line crab is lump crab meat, and although delicious, it’s expensive. So, I typically use claw meat for crab cakes, which works well.

Reviews
These were great crab cakes. I used some plain breadcrumbs and reduced the number of saltines to 7.
