This were so tasty for being baked! I used imitation crab and will not remove stars for that, however, they are probably even better with real crab. The consistency of imitation crab made clumping a little more difficult- but they did hold together. I put mix in the fridge for a few hours before cooking and that may have helped.

Delicious - I followed the recipe except used Best life spread and whole eggs (3 for 3/4 cups) Make sure you spray the cookie sheet good of they will stick. My husband hates crab cakes because they often have too much filler - This was a winner with him! This recipe only made 7 cakes if they are a good size (more of mounds than flat patties)

After trying crab cakes, for the first time in my life in 2008, at G & M Restaurant in Linthicum Heights, MD, nothing else I've tried has come close. I guess that's what happens when you try the very best version of something first! This recipe comes closer to that genuine Maryland flavor than anything I have found. I have made these a handful of times, inculding a version for crabcake slider sandwiches for a party, and they always turn out good. The key is to precisely measure ingredients, make sure your oven is set correctly, and chill in the freezer while the oven preheats. I usually do a bake/broil combo on these, and I form mine into loosely packed baseball sized ball, and DONT flatten or turn while cooking. I just spent the better part of an hour trying to find this recipe again, because I lost the printed copy I had, and stupidly didn't save it on here! Thanks for the great recipe!( Oh, and it will make a difference if you use margarine instead of real butter.)

Okay. The best part of this recipe is baking the crab cakes -- I've had crab crumb cakes when I've used recipes that fry. However, not sure I am sold on this recipe, part of the reason maybe that I ended up using seasoned bread crumbs [I would not do that again, way too many (competing) spices when you factor in the recipe's spices too.] But, there are many people here who've enjoyed this recipe, so try it. The other change I made was cutting the cooking time, I did about 9 minutes per side. I would may even go 7 minutes per side. To your health . . .

This is delicious! Even though I had to substitute quite a bit because I need to go shopping, it was still yummy! Here is what I did just in case someone else wants to try replacing some things! Had no baking powder- left it out! Had no parsley- left it out! Had no butter (yeah I know!)- put in a bit of light cream and cream cheese Had no worcestershire- put in a splash of soy sauce and about 1/8 cup of French dressing Put in two eggs instead of egg substitute as others suggested I lightly rolled the cakes in a few more crumbs just to give the outside a nice crisp Everyone loved this, even the little ones! Will definitely put this in my "crab" rotation! Tum!

I too am from the Chesapeake Bay area and your recipe was similar to G&M's crabcakes. I put a twist on it. All you need do is mix 3 T Hellman's Mayonnaise with 1 to 2 T finely minced green or red pepper, 1/4 t dry mustard, 2 1/4 t French's mustard, 2 t Old Bay or to your liking, a dash of worcestshire and one beaten egg or 1/4 c of cholesterol-free egg product. Pour mixture over large lump crab meat and gently fold til incorporated. Place rack 2nd step down from broiling element, heat oven to broil and place crab cakes (5) on pan brushed with olive oil. Broil 10 minutes and Viola`, best crab cake you ever had. Took 1st place in a crab cake cookoff last year. The 1 T of red pepper which added color made all the difference in the world. Try it.

Well, I have been looking for a baked crab cake recipe for some time and have found this. Thank you, T. I grew up on the bay (Fort Monroe) and still wake up on cool mornings here in Carolina and dream of the salty yet sweet breeze that became part of me so long ago. Good luck with feeding the twins - my daughter now 34 was just sharing with me news of her first "professional" job. May your and your sweetie's raising but as delightful as ours!

GREAT...the only thing I changed was to use Ritz cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs. I'm originally from Maryland and now live in Ohio and this recipe got rave reviews. Thanks so much for sharing!

I made these for my boyfriend and his brother for dinner and they LOVED them! Due to the fact that these are baked, they stayed together perfectly, and there was just enough filler as to not take away from the crab taste. The only adjustment that I made after reading the other reviews was cooking these for 10 minutes on each side, and they were done perfectly. I would think that the cook time on here might make them a bit too crispy.
