Deliciously crispy crab bombs filled with creamy crab meat and cheese, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko or regular)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 pieces green onions, chopped finely
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup oil for frying (canola or vegetable)

Instructions

  2. Mix the filling in a bowl with crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, green onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
