Sweet Corn Crab Cakes with Avocado Crema

Crab cakes are one of my absolute favorite appetizers. These are extra special with the addition of sweet corn, which add a pop of sweetness in every bite. The avocado crema adds awesome flavor and creaminess. You can also serve this for dinner with a side of leafy greens or fresh fruit.

1. Preheat oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the crab cake ingredients in a large bowl. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes to firm.

 

3. Using an ice cream scoop, shape the mixture into 4 patties. Saute in coconut oil over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side, then transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes longer.

 

 

 

4. While the crab cakes bake, combine the crema ingredients in a food processor until smooth.

 

5. Once out of the oven, let the crab cakes rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Top with crema, garnish with chives and serve.
