• 1 slice whole-wheat bread toasted, and cut into very small pieces
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1 medium egg white
• 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drain crab well. Place in a bowl and break up any large chunks. Add jalapeño and next 8 ingredients. Mix well.

Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Scoop up crab by 1/3-cupfuls and shape into 8 patties. Place on baking sheet allowing 1-inch between each crab cake. Bake until edges of crab cakes turn slightly golden, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare sauce by combining remaining ingredients in a bowl. Stir well.

Remove crab from oven and serve with sauce.

This recipe yields 4 servings; 2 crab cakes and 2 tablespoons of sauce per serving.
