Ingredients

1 lb crab meat
2 cup fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see tip)
½ red bell pepper, minced
3 scallions, sliced
¼ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 large egg
1 large egg white
1 10 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
½ tsp celery salt
¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
6 lemon wedges for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Generously coat a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with cooking spray.

2. Mix crab, breadcrumbs, bell pepper, scallions, mayonnaise, eggs, egg white, hot sauce, celery salt and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Bake until crispy and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until a coarse crumb forms. One slice of bread makes about 1/3 cup crumbs.
