Crabby Patties

These crab cakes are baked, not fried which make them healthier. Kids love to help make this recipe. Serve it on hamburger buns with a slice of American cheese, lettuce and some Crabby Patty (tartar) Sauce! I named these special for my grandson. Does not include four hours chill time.

6. ASSEMBLY: Heat the buns in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom of each bun. Top with a small piece of lettuce, then a crabby patty. Squeeze a splash of fresh lemon juice over patties. Spread some tartar sauce on the tops of the buns and place over sandwiches.
