Famous Crab Bombs 🦀✨
Delicious and easy-to-make crab bites!
📋 Ingredients
- 1 lb jumbo lump crab meat (fresh, picked over for shells)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice (fresh)
- 1/4 cup crushed saltine crackers or plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Butter for greasing or topping (optional)
📝 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning.
3. Add the jumbo lump crab meat and carefully fold it into the mixture using a spatula or clean hands.
4. Sprinkle in the crushed saltines or breadcrumbs and mix just enough for the mixture to hold together. Stir in parsley if using.
5. Shape the mixture into large, round mounds and place on the prepared baking dish.
6. For added richness, place a small pat of butter on top of each crab bomb.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until golden on top and heated through. Serve hot with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or remoulade. Perfectly pairs with coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
