Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat with the egg whites, taking care not to break the crab meat apart too much.
Step 3
Add the low-fat mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, chopped parsley, finely chopped green onions, and lemon juice to the mixture. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Fold in the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper, mixing just until everything is combined. Do not overwork the mixture.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into eight patties, about 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter each. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the crabcakes with nonstick cooking spray to promote browning.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the crabcakes are golden brown on the outside and warmed through.
Step 8
Carefully remove from the oven and serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a wedge of lemon if desired. Enjoy your low-fat classic crabcakes!
