1 pound lump crabmeat, picked through, shells removed
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped red or yellow onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1-2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2 ounces Cabot Horseradish Cheddar, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs*
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2-3 tablespoons canola oil

1. In medium bowl, combine crabmeat, celery, onion, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and Old Bay seasoning. Add cheddar, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs and egg and mix together gently but thoroughly.

2. Shape into six equal patties. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour or until ready to cook.

3. Place large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add crab cakes and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through to center, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

*Panko are coarse Japanese-style breadcrumbs that produce an especially crispy result. Find them at gourmet supermarkets, specialty food stores, or Asian markets. Plain dried breadcrumbs can be substituted.
