FLORIDA CRAB CAKES WITH AVOCADO BUTTER
This recipe is out of a 1994 Bon Appetit magazine. It was given to them by a famous chef in Florida. It is still one of my favorite recipes for crab cakes and the avocado butter is a nice change from the normal condiments one gets with crab cakes.

AVOCADO CRAB CAKES
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
