1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 large egg, beaten

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

2. Form the mixture into 8 even-sized patties, taking care not to compress them too tightly.

6. Remove the crab cakes from the skillet and drain on paper towels before serving.

Storage

Store leftover crab cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
