Baked Crab Cakes are easy to make at home, and a delicious treat for a special meal.
We love seafood in my family and we’ve been making this delicious Baked Crab Cake Recipe for years. It kind of evolved from the recipe you find on the back of the crab meat container, which was good but not flavorful enough and too dry.

So we tweaked it and came up with a tried and true combo that is fantastic. We just had it for Valentine’s Day dinner. This is a perfect meal for a special occasion (because let’s be honest – crab meat is pricey).
My secret ingredient? Veggies! Diced peppers and onions sauteed in butter make this recipe moist and flavorful.
You’ll combine all of the other ingredients except the crab meat in one bowl. Then fold in the meat so you don’t shred it up.
We use two types of crab meat, one a little chunkier and one more flaky.That is really just to balance the cost. If you want to splurge and get 16oz. of jumbo lump, go for it!
But don’t be afraid to get a less pricey variety, like backfin and claw meat.
Finally, fold in the sauteed veggies. Make sure they’ve cooled a bit so you don’t scramble the eggs in the recipe.
Then form your crab cakes and place them on a sheet pan. They don’t spread like cookies, so don’t worry about crowding them in there.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and dig in! I love mine with tartar sauce, and these are pretty rich so you can go light on the sides if you want to keep the rest of the meal simple. Steamed yellow squash or asparagus and rice is perfect.
Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!
