Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, cheddar cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Shape the mixture into patties and arrange them on the baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crab cakes turn golden brown.
For the lemon butter, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then blend in the lemon juice and garlic powder. Keep warm.
Drizzle warm lemon butter over the crab cakes right before serving.
