Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons bread crumbs, divided

Combine crab, celery, parsley, horseradish, egg yolk, Parmesan, bell pepper, garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon of the bread crumbs, being careful to keep the crab meat in large pieces. Form 8 round patties, equal in size, and sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs.
