Ingredients
Appetizer Division:
Softened butter, for greasing ramekins
1 egg, beaten (egg substitute can be used)
2 tablespoons bread crumbs
8 ounces Maryland blue crabmeat
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
Sauce:
1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat Parmesan
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped pimento
8 ounces Maryland blue crabmeat
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons lemon juice
12 tablespoons chopped, cooked vegetable of choice; such as asparagus, chopped spinach or artichoke hearts
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter 12 (2 1/2-inch) ramekins or small bowls. Combine all of the appetizer ingredients. Press the mixture into the prepared ramekins, leaving a hollow in the middle of each ramekin. Bake until the edges begin to brown, about 15 minutes.
