You can also use frozen, jumbo lump, claw meat or white crabmeat\u2014whatever you have available! Make sure to drain any crabmeat and remove any shell or cartilage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bread crumbs:<\/strong> Bread crumbs act as a binder with the egg and mayo.

The pepper pieces won&#8217;t get as soft if they are too chunky. No red pepper?

A little sprinkle on top adds color, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add fresh herbs:<\/strong> Add green and herbal notes to this crab cake recipe with chopped fresh or dried parsley.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give them a kick:<\/strong> For the perfect kick, add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/horseradish\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/horseradish\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">horseradish<\/a> to these crab cakes. Use freshly grated or jarred horseradish; they&#8217;re both delicious here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make salmon cakes:<\/strong> If crab isn&#8217;t available, try making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/speedy-salmon-patties\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/speedy-salmon-patties\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">salmon patties<\/a> with canned salmon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Easy Crab Cakes<\/h2>\n<p>Store these easy crab cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat them in a 350\u00b0F oven for 10 minutes or until heated through. Or reheat them on the stovetop in a bit of oil or butter until they&#8217;re warmed through and sizzle around the edges.<\/p>\n<h2>Easy Crab Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2008369 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Easy-Crab-Cakes-FT24_24879_JR_0530_4.jpg\" alt=\"A plate of Easy Crab Cakes served with tartar sauce\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is it better to fry or broil crab cakes?<\/h3>\n<p>For the crispiest option, fry your crab cakes in butter or olive oil, making sure to cook long enough for them to be cooked through on the inside. If you prefer not to fry, bake them in a 350\u00b0 oven on a greased pan or parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>What keeps crab cakes from falling apart?<\/h3>\n<p>Eggs and bread crumbs help prevent the crab cakes from falling apart. When forming the crab cakes, handle the mixture carefully. You want to firmly press it together without overworking it too much. If the mixture seems too loose, try putting it in the fridge for 20 minutes before shaping the crab cakes. You can also add a dollop of extra mayo to help bind the mix together.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with crab cakes?<\/h3>\n<p>Crab cakes go great with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-tartar-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/classic-tartar-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classic tartar sauce<\/a>, cocktail sauce or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-aioli\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-aioli\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aioli<\/a>.
