  • Cut or tear the bread into small pieces. Add the bread and crabmeat to the egg mixture and toss everything together.

  • Form into 20 balls and place them on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Broil for 10 minutes or until tops begin to get crusty.

Notes

  • I normally use claw meat as it's the most affordable and the meat is nice and sweet.
  • I had to add "heaping" to the recipe as I'm always super generous with the Old Bay and parsley but 2 teaspoons of each make a nice mild ball.
  • If you don't have yogurt, a dollap of mayo works too.
  • I'm giving the nutrition information for each ball to make it easy to track. That's how I enter them in MyFitnessPal.
