While I am a big fan of traditional pan-fried crab cakes, it’s hard to beat the ease that comes with baking them. Skip standing over a hot stove and instead, bake the whole batch at once on a sheet pan. The results are equally tender, sweet, and crowd-pleasing.
How Do You Bake Crab Cakes?
Baked crab cakes couldn’t be simpler to make. You’ll simply combine lump crab meat with seasonings and just enough filler in the form of egg and panko breadcrumbs for it to hold together. You’ll shape the mixture into patties and chill them for 10 minutes, which ensures they’ll firm up a bit so they won’t fall apart in the oven. The patties are then transferred to the oven and baked until lightly browned and just cooked through.
