Ingredients: 1/4 cup bread crumbs; 2 tsp seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay); 1 tsp baking powder; 1 tsp dried parsley; 1 tsp mustard powder; 1/8 tsp black pepper; 3/4 cup cholesterol-free egg product; 2 tbsp butter, melted; 1 tbsp mayonnaise; 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce; 1 lb lump crab meat

Golden-crusted crab cakes bursting with sweet lump crab meat and classic Old Bay seasoning deliver that Chesapeake Bay magic without deep frying. Baking powder creates an impossibly light, crispy exterior while the crab stays tender inside, with just enough binder to hold everything together. Perfect for a special weeknight dinner or impressive enough for company.
