Crab Bombs are golden, crispy bites stuffed with tender lump crab meat and bursting with flavor. These savory and crunchy treats make the perfect appetizer or snack for seafood lovers.

Ingredients

1 lb lump crab meat

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 lemon, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, green onions, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until well combined.
  3. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley.
  4. Using your hands, form the crab mixture into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crab bombs are golden brown and heated through.
  6. Serve warm with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

Notes

  • If desired, add a teaspoon of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Use Parmesan or mozzarella cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • For mini crab cakes, flatten the mixture instead of forming balls.
  • Leftover crab bombs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat by placing on a baking sheet in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.
