Instructions
- To make Baked Crab Cakes in oven, first at 400°F or 200°C preheat your oven.
- Make the crab mixture in a medium bowl. In that bowl, whisk the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, old bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, egg, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, and garlic in the bowl. Season this mixture with salt and pepper.
- Then add the crab meat on top and then the breadcrumbs. With a large spoon, very gently and carefully fold them together. Avoid the crab meat from breaking.
- Finally, cover the bowl with the lid. Keep it in the fridge for at atleast 30 minutes.
- Then keep a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil on the baking sheet. And lightly coat it with olive oil or nonstick spray (if you have).
- After chilling, form the crab cakes. Divide the mixture into 6 - 8 equal parts. Gently shape every part into a patty of 1-inch thickness.
- Place them on the baking sheet, keeping some space in between. Prepare the crab cakes to bake.
- First, lightly spray or brush the olive oil or melted butter of each crab cakes top. Then bake them for 15 - 20 minutes, but flip the cakes on halfway.

Notes
- use fresh crab meat, it makes this cake delicious. Also affects the flavor.
- keep them in the fridge for rest, before baking for a minimum of 30 minutes. While baking, it will hold its shape.
- mayonnaise and eggs are used as binders to keep the crab cakes attached. To keep them from falling apart, be sure to apply the appropriate quantity.
- bake the crab cakes till they get golden brown or for 15 to 20 minutes. Also flip them on halfway to make both sides brown.
