While testing the best crab cake recipe I could possibly find, something came to mind. I always thought “Here’s a dish I’ll never prepare at home. It must be extremely difficult.”
Well, guess what. I found this wonderfully easy crab cake recipe! So simple to prepare, absolutely delicious and very elegant to serve.
My secret? Simple ingredients and I broil them in the oven, all at the same time.
This recipe is light because there is no frying involved (therefore less cleaning) and I use low-fat yogurt and low-fat mayo. Trust me, the taste is all there.
Best crab cake recipe? Quite possibly!!
