Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Non-stick Cooking Spray
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 9 ounces lump crab meat picked free of shells
  • ½ cup reduced fat ritz crackers about 13, crushed
  • 1 whole egg, plus 1 egg white beaten
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons celery finely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon low fat mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • ½ lime juiced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine crushed crackers, eggs, scallions, pepper, mayo, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Mix well, then fold in crab meat, careful not to over mix so the crab remains in large chunks. Gently shape into patties using a 1/2 cup measuring cup.
  • Chill in the refrigerator at least 1/2 hour before baking.
  • Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Bake about 8-10 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

Notes

  • I served them with Chipotle sauce.
