Hungry Girl Crabcakes

Since nearly every crab cake is made with breadcrumbs, it is pretty challenging to find ones that are gluten free, so why not just make them yourself? Making gluten free breadcrumbs is a super simple process and forming the crab cakes themselves involves little more than stirring ingredients together. Hungry Girl's crab cakes are also much healthier than traditional ones since they are baked as opposed to fried. The cakes are still crispy and flavorful so you won't even miss the deep frying.

Ingredients-
2.5 slices light gluten free sandwich bread, toasted
2 (6oz) cans lump crabmeat, drained (about 1 cup)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp Promise butter spread, melted

1 wedge Laughing Cow light Swiss cheese, room temperature

1 tbsp nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a large baking dish with nonstick spray.

2. Tear toasted bread into pieces and place in a food processor. Pulse until reduced to breadcrumbs, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a medium bowl.

3. Add crabmeat, parsley, garlic, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Gently mix until combined.

4. Break cheese wedge into pieces and place in a small bowl. Add egg substitute, yogurt, Dijon, lemon juice, melted butter spread, worcestershire, and hot sauce. Whisk until smooth.
