INGREDIENTS

• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Dash hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
• 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1 scallion, including green top, finely chopped
• 1 pound lump crab, picked over for cartilage
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 400° F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl mix together the egg, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning and hot sauce. Stir in the bell pepper and scallion. Gently fold in the crab, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste. Put the remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
• Divide the crab mixture into 8 mounds. Shape 1 mound into a round and coat in bread crumbs. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten the crab cake to form a patty about 1-inch high. Repeat to form the remaining crab cakes.
• Bake until golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Gently flip the crab cakes and cook until the second side is golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Serve with tartar sauce.
