My brother Lee served these. He used to own a restaurant and he's a great cook. we eat these as appetizers, but if you portion out three, it could be a main course. Lee makes these with fresh crab and that makes a difference, but I've used canned and it's almost as good. Ingredients:

1 pound crab |
1/4 cup celery finely chopped |
1/4 cup green pepper finely chopped |
1/4 cup scallions finely chopped |
1 teaspoon thyme leaves |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more, if you like things spicy) |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
