Servings4
2 cans of lump crab meat or crab claw meat
1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
1/4 of a green bell pepper, diced
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
1 egg, well beaten
2 tbsp mayonnaise

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

crab meat

🥗Healthier: imitation crab

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides a similar texture.

1

Combine crab meat, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, green onions, parsley, egg, salt, black pepper, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl.

2

Mix until just combined, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

3

Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of slider buns.

4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

5

Cook the crab cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

6

Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

7

Toast the slider buns in the same skillet until lightly browned.

8

Assemble sliders by placing a crab cake on the bottom half of each bun.

9

Top with lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of tartar sauce.

10

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
