| 1 | Lump crabmeat |

| 2 | Mayonnaise |
| 1/4 | Teaspoon Pepper |
| 1 | Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce |
| 1/4 | Teaspoon Dry mustard |
| 2 | Bread crumbs |
Instructions:
-
Mix Together Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, mayonnaise, OLD BAY seasoning, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard until creamy and well blended.

Incorporate Bread Crumbs: Gradually add bread crumbs to the creamy mixture, stirring until evenly combined.

Add Crab Meat: Gently fold in the lump crab meat, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Serve: Serve the crab cakes hot, accompanied by tartar sauce and lemon wedges for a burst of flavor.

- For a delightful variation, try a crabcake sandwich by placing a crab cake on a Martin’s Brand potato roll, topped with tartar sauce and crisp lettuce.
