Description

These oven-baked crab cakes offer a lighter, healthier twist on the classic fried favorite while maintaining that irresistible crunch and savory depth. Made with high-quality jumbo lump crab meat, the mixture is bound with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and egg yolks, then seasoned generously with Old Bay and a hint of cayenne for warmth. The cornflake coating provides an exceptional, shattering crispness that holds up beautifully in the oven. Perfect for a special weeknight dinner, a summer barbecue, or an elegant appetizer platter, these cakes are moist, flavorful, and elegant. They pair wonderfully with tartar sauce, remoulade, or a fresh citrus wedge.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pulse cornflakes in a food processor until finely ground, then spread evenly in a shallow baking pan for coating.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, and egg yolks until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the jumbo lump crab meat into the mayonnaise mixture, being careful not to break up the large chunks of crab.
  4. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the mixture and form into slightly flattened rounds, approximately 2 1/2 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick.
  5. Coat each crab cake gently but thoroughly with the ground cornflakes, pressing lightly to adhere, and transfer to a wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
  6. Cover the crab cakes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours, to firm up before baking.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  8. Transfer the chilled crab cakes to a large baking sheet.
  9. Dot the top of each crab cake with about 1/2 teaspoon of softened unsalted butter.
  10. Bake in the center of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown, crisp, and the cakes are heated through.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
