Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

6 servings, 2 cakes each

Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or serve cold.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound crabmeat- 2 6 oz. or 2 8 oz cansor 1 12 oz. depends on what you can find
2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip)

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 large eggs

Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until a coarse crumb forms. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Generously coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.

Mix crab, breadcrumbs, bell pepper, scallions, mayonnaise, eggs, egg white, hot sauce, celery salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake until crispy and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
