8 saltine crackers, finely crushed
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay)
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg, beaten
1 pinch cayenne pepper (Optional)
salt to taste
1 pound fresh crabmeat, well drained
¼ cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Mix crushed crackers, mayonnaise, Dijon, seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, egg, cayenne, and salt together in a large bowl. Add crabmeat and stir until combined but still chunky. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
