John's Maryland Baked Crab Cakes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean-up.

Step 2

Add all ingredients except for the butter in a bowl. Mix with hands or spoon until all ingredients are combined. Form into 5 medium-sized mounds (the won't be too moldable because there's little filler -- that's okay. If you can't even form a mound without the cake falling apart, stick in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes). Transfer each cake to baking sheet. Place pad of butter on top of each crab cake. Sprinkle additional Old Bay on top of the butter.

Step 3

Bake for 10 minutes. Stick under the broiler for an addition 3-5 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving! Enjoy!
