Instructions

  1. Place crab meat in medium mixing bowl.
  2. In small mixing bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients
  3. Add yogurt mixture to crab meat and gently combine, do not over mix.
  4. Shape into 6 – 3 1/2 inch cakes, refrigerate 1 hour or as long as overnight.
  5. Gently combine all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
  6. Crack eggs into individual small cups or ramekins.
  7. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add vinegar and salt. Reduce to simmer.

  10. Simmer for 2 minutes then turn off the heat. Cover and let sit for 2 more minutes.
  11. Gently remove eggs with a slotted spoon and place on plate lined with paper towels.
