Preheat oven to 400 F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the egg, mustard, Worchestershire, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Old Bay.
Stir in the bell pepper and scallion.  Gently fold in the crab, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Put remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
Divide crab mixture into 8 mounds. Shape each monund into a round and coat with the bread crumbs in the bowl. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and flatten the crab cake to form a patty.  Spray each patty with a little cooking spray.
Bake until golden on the bottom about 10 minutes. Gently flip the cakes and cook until the second side is golden 5-10 minutes longer.
