  • .25 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 Egg Large Egg
  • 2 Tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 Green onions
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh parsley
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  1. Shred the Lion's Mane mushrooms into crab-like strands using a fork or your hands.

  3. Season the cooked mushrooms with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning. Let cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooled mushrooms, panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, remaining Old Bay, Dijon mustard, green onions, parsley, and lemon juice.
  5. Mix gently until just combined. Form mixture into 8 small patties.
  6. Refrigerate patties for 30 minutes to help them hold together.
  7. Heat remaining olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook crab cakes for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove excess moisture from mushrooms for best texture.
  • Chilling the patties helps them hold together during cooking.
  • Serve with tartar sauce or aioli for authentic crab cake experience.
