  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Tear 2 slices of lightly toasted bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender.
  3. Pulse until reduced to fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs lump crab meat, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl. Gently mix until combined.
  5. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion and 1/2 cup finely chopped celery. Lightly mix again and set aside.
  6. Break 4 oz cream cheese wedge into pieces and place into a small bowl.
  7. Add 2 large egg whites (or 1/4 cup egg beaters), 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and a dash of hot pepper sauce (to taste).
  8. Whisk until smooth and pour over the crab mixture.
  9. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the liquid mixture into the crabmeat mixture until just combined.
  10. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Prepare a medium-large baking dish by spraying with butter-flavored non-stick cooking spray.
  12. Gently form 1/3 of the crab cake mixture into a ball, and place in the baking dish.
  13. Flatten it into a cake about 1 inch thick.
  14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 twice more to have 3 cakes in the baking dish.
  15. Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the cakes are slightly firm and cooked through.
  16. Remove carefully and serve immediately with additional Dijon mustard for dipping and/or lemon wedges.
