Ingredients

  • 0.1 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • large egg whites 
  • tablespoon parsley fresh chopped
  • teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 0.3 cup bell pepper green finely chopped
  • 0.3 teaspoon paprika hot
  •  lemon wedges 
  • 0.3 cup mayonnaise light
  • pound lump crab meat drained
  • teaspoon mustard prepared
  • 0.3 cup bell pepper red finely chopped
  • 0.5 cup crackers whole wheat crushed ( 12 crackers)
  • teaspoons worcestershire sauce 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • broiler

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Combine first 12 ingredients in a medium bowl. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1-inch-thick patty.
  3. Place patties on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Broil 3 inches from heat for 10 minutes or until browned.
  4. Serve with lemon wedges.
  5. Wine note: Crab and chardonnay are a classic match because crab is meaty, rich, and sweet and chardonnay is buttery, rich, and a touch sweet, too. The key with these crab cakes is choosing a chardonnay that's not so oaky or toasty that it will overwhelm the finesse of the crab. A good simple one is Sonoma Vineyards Chardonnay 2006 from Sonoma County, California ($15). Karen MacNeil
