Step 1

Set broiler to Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silpat. Spray lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Place saltines in a food processor and pulse to a fine crumb. Alternatively, crush with your hands. Set aside.

Step 3

Crack the egg into a small mixing bowl. Add the half and half, Worcestershire sauce and dijon. Whisk well.

Step 4

Place the crab meat in a medium mixing bowl (drain first if necessary). Add the crackers and stir gently until the crab meat is coated.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients over the crab mixture. Fold with a spatula until incorporated.
