Burgers

  • 450 g (1 lb) crab meat, drained 125 mL (1/2 cup) onion, minced
  • 4 green onions, minced
  • 250 mL (1 cup) panko-type breadcrumbs
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) freshly squeezed lemon juice

Assembly

  • 45 mL (3 tbsp) butter
  • 8 slice Saputo Lite Mozzarellissima Cheese
