Ingredients:
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh)
  • 1 cup (about 30) reduced fat Ritz crackers, crushed
    • Food4yourDude version:  I used preservative free, No GMO, All Natural crackers 
  • 1 whole egg plus 2 egg whites, beaten
  • 4 scallions, chopped fine
  • 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
  • 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp fat free yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 16 oz premium lump crab meat, picked free of shells
    • Food4yourDude version:  Used lumped crab meat already pre-packaged
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking spray
Directions:

In a large bowl, combine corn, crushed crackers, eggs, scallions, pepper, mayo, yogurt, parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well, then fold in crab meat, careful not to over mix so the crab remains in large chunks. Gently shape into 8 patties using a 1/2 cup measuring cup.

Chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour before baking.

Preheat oven to 425°. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Bake about 12-14 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
