Maryland Crab Cakes (Gluten-Free)
Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 4 to 5 slices whole grain gluten-free sandwich bread (about ½ cups of dry bread crumbs)
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (or other Chesapeake-style seafood seasoning)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pound lump crab meat
Instructions
  1. Remove crusts from bread and place in the bowl of a food processor. Process until you have find bread crumbs. Measure out ½ cup of crumbs.
  2. In medium bowl, mix bread crumbs, mustard and Old Bay seasoning.
  3. Gently fold in egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce into bread crumb mixture.
  4. Gently mix in crab meat.
  5. Shape into four individual crab cakes and flatten until about an inch thick.
  6. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to avoid breaking apart when cooking.
  7. Before serving, preheat oven to 350°F. Place crab cakes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or sprayed with cooking spray and cook for 25 minutes or until heated through.
  8. Serve immediately.
Notes
* The best crabcakes are made with lump crabmeat. Check the label to make sure that’s what you’re purchasing.
* You can make this with regular bread, but note that you’ll likely need fewer pieces as gluten-free sandwich bread tends to have smaller slices than traditional bread.
* I prefer whole grain bread, but you can use white bread (which is more traditional) instead.
