1 tsp. Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup Pasteurized Whole Egg

Drain crabmeat of all excess liquid and place in a stainless bowl. Add
bread crumbs and toss to distribute evenly. In a separate bowl, combine
remaining ingredients with a wire whip. Pour over crabmeat mixture.
Mix GENTLY to combine all ingredients. Divide evenly into 6 portions and
form into balls. Flatten slightly to 1" thick - do not make perfectly flat,
because cake should have grooves.
Place portioned crab cakes on a non-stick cookie sheet, slightly oiled with
clarified butter. Place in a preheated 450-degree oven and bake approx.
5 minutes on first side. Turn crab cake over using a metal spatula. Finish
cooking-approx. 4 minutes. Place crab cakes in center of plate. Garnish
with lemon and 1 Tbsp. of Mustard Mayonnaise sauce per crab cake.
