One serving is 3 weight watcher points (old). I served this with a side salad and a toast with some non fat Miracle Whip. Yes toast it sounds weird but it was tasty. A side of rice would also be nice.

  • 10 ounches of Crabmeat
  • 1.5 cups of Panko
  • 1/2 Red Pepper, minced
  • 2 Scallions, sliced

Mini Crab Cakes 
(Prep Time: 30 minutes, Cook Time: 20 - 25 minutes, makes ~20 crab cakes) 


Ingredients
½ cup bell pepper (chopped) 
½ cup onion (chopped)
2 tablespoons butter 
1 teaspoon Worcester sauce 
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning  
1 tablespoon parsley (chopped) 
½ lbs crab meat 
½ cup panko 
1 egg 
½ cup mayo 
salt & pepper 

Chop onion and pepper very finely.  In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat.  Add onion, pepper, Worcester sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and parsley.  Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes.  Remove from heat and cool in a bowl to room temperature.  You can expedite this by putting the bowl in the fridge or freezer. 



In a large bowl, break apart crabmeat and combine with panko, egg, and mayo. Gently fold in the pepper and onion mixture.  Season with salt and pepper.  You can make this mixture several hours before baking the crab cakes.  Keep it cold in the fridge in a covered bowl or in your greased mini muffin pans. 



Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease mini muffin tan very liberally with cooking spray.  This is key to make sure the crab cakes do not stick to the pan or fall apart. Using a cookie scoop, fill each muffin tin to the top and press each crab cake down slightly with a spoon.  


Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.  Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.  Use a spoon to pop each crab cake out of the muffin tin. Sprinkle with a little bit of Old Bay seasoning and serve! 



These crab cakes are also a great freezer appetizer.  Double or triple the recipe, bake, let cool, and then freeze in an airtight container.  Use parchment paper between layers of crab cakes to ensure they don't stick together.   

You can also bake the crab cake mixture in regular size muffin tins.  Pair them with a salad for a light summer meal!
