Maryland Crab
Cakes
Recipe from the American
Heritage Cookbook published in 1964. The primary difference between this
version and others is that bread is used as the filler rather than bread
crumbs and egg whites are beaten and folded in making a lighter crab cake.
No mayonnaise is used in this recipe but the bread is soaked in olive oil.
To update the recipe you could cut back to about 1/4 cup olive oil.

bread and lay slices on a shallow platter. Pour oil over them and let
stand until bread is thoroughly saturated. Use forks to beak
into small pieces.
Combine egg yolks with mustard, salt and Worcestershire sauce. Beat
lightly. Stir in bread and crab meat which has been picked over carefully to
remove any shell bits..
Beat egg whites until stiff and add to crab mixture and form into patties.
