How to Make Crab Cakes With A Bite

  1. Gently pick through 1 pound of lump crab meat, removing any shell fragments or cartilage.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard to the eggs. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  4. Gently fold in the crab meat, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty. Place on a plate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  7. Place crab cakes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Switch oven to broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
