Tips:

  • For a more crab-like texture, gently break apart the mushrooms with your hands before adding the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use a combination of regular mustard and a little honey.
  • For a healthier option, use whole-wheat breadcrumbs or even oats.
  • Serve these crab cakes with a side of salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
