My easy to make jumbo lump crab cakes have a restaurant taste with sweet jumbo lump crab meat as the star of the show.

Summer solstice is today, 6/21, and it marks the first day of summer and the longest day of the year.
My jumbo lump oven baked crab cakes are perfect to celebrate the day! The sweet, jumbo lump crab is the star of the show. When paired with @champagnetaittinger it’s a flavor explosion. If you didn’t know, Taittinger is a French wine family who are famous producers of Champagne.
These crab cakes come together in no time and take about 12 minutes to finish in the oven.
I love making these crab cakes for special occasions or for a celebration. You can serve these on their own or with a scampi linguine. You could even make a crab cake sandwich or make it brunch with a poached egg! Whatever you do be sure to enjoy it with a glass of Rose Taittinger to really elevate the experience.
Let’s jump right into my favorite jumbo lump crab cake recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Jumbo lump crab
Mayonnaise
Old bay seasoning
Dijon mustard
Worcestershire sauce
Egg
Ritz crackers
Panko breadcrumbs
