2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
The key to this recipe lies in the measured ingredients.
I recommend using jumbo lump crab meat, which has a more tender texture than flaked or lump crab meat.
The eggs and cheese add creaminess and richness, while the whole-grain bread provides a satisfying crunch.
Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out the flavors!
