  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 0.5 lb fresh crabmeat, picked clean
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Lay the bread slices on a shallow platter. Pour the olive oil over them and let stand until the bread is thoroughly saturated. Use forks to break into small pieces.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks with the dry mustard, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Beat lightly.

  3. 3

    Stir in the oil-soaked bread pieces and the crabmeat. Gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

  4. 4

    Shape the mixture into patties and sprinkle with paprika.

  5. 5

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sauté the crab cakes until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve hot with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
