• 1 pounds cooked crabmeat
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon diced red bell pepper

• Cooking spray, as needed

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Directions

Step 1: In a large bowl, gently combine the crabmeat, eggs, mayonnaise, red and green bell peppers, parsley, baking powder, Worcestershire sauce, and seafood seasoning until evenly mixed.

Step 2: Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat.

Step 3: Using a tablespoon, carefully scoop small portions of the crab mixture into the skillet, shaping them into mini "cakes" roughly the size of a poker chip. The batter will be soft and loose.

Step 4: Cook the mini cakes on one side until firm, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute until lightly browned and heated through. Repeat in batches as needed.
