Avocado Crab Cakes image

I created this recipe because I like the pairing of crab and avocado; plus I wanted a baked rather than fried crab cake. These come out crisp and golden with great flavor. It's almost impossible to tell that they aren't fried. -Virginia Anthony, Jacksonville, Florida

These crab cakes were a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt if you don't like salty food.

I'm a vegetarian, but I made these crab cakes with tofu instead of crab meat and they were amazing! The tofu had a similar texture to crab meat and the avocado added a creamy richness.

These crab cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend draining them on paper towels before serving.

I'm not a fan of avocado, but I still enjoyed these crab cakes. The avocado flavor was very subtle and didn't overpower the crab.

I had some leftover crab cakes and I reheated them in the oven the next day. They were just as good as they were the first day!

I made these crab cakes with fresh crab meat and they were amazing! The flavor was so much better than when I use canned crab meat.

These crab cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.
