Nothing hits the spot like fresh seafood. Crab, which is particularly rich, can be served in a number of ways. We suggest trying our easy lactose free crab cake recipe. It takes very little time to make, and with a single pound of crabmeat you can make six exquisite crab cake patties. We recommend serving the crab cakes with some Cabot horseradish cheddar. The cheddar adds a little extra zing that you’ll definitely love. Because these crab cakes are so simple to make, we suggest cooking them up for a quick picnic or a casual family get together. After trying the recipe, please share it with your friends and family.


If you’re on the hunt for a new crab cake recipe, you should give ours a try. To cook up our crab cakes, you’re going to need the following: one pound of lump crabmeat (shells removed completely), chopped celery, red or yellow onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, Cabot Horseradish Cheddar, mayonnaise, panko breadcrumbs, an egg, and some canola oil. Thankfully, you don’t have to do too much to prep the crab cakes: simply add the crab, chopped celery, onion, parsley, lemon, Worcestershire and Old Bay into a medium bowl. Mix ingredients and add some cheddar, mayo, panko breadcrumbs, and the egg. Next, shape six patties that are roughly equal in size. You should then let the patties refrigerate for at least an hour or so. The patties will only take about eight minutes to cook. Place the patties onto a hot pan and cook each side for four minutes or until the breading turns a rich, golden color.


Crab cakes are ideal for backyard gatherings, barbecues, or big family dinners. If you’re on the hunt for another dish that’s great for social settings, try our corn cheddar fritters.
