By dorchuk

Ingredients

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound fresh crabmeat, drained and flaked
• 1/4 cup fine, dry breadcrumbs (store-bought)
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine first 5 ingredients; stir well. Pick through crabmeat to remove any bits of shell and cartilage. Fold crabmeat into egg mixture. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 1-quart baking dish.

Combine breadcrumbs and butter; sprinkle over crabmeat mixture.

Bake, uncovered, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
