Famous Crab Bombs” recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lump crab meat (make sure to pick through for shells)
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers (or breadcrumbs)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Butter or oil for greasing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Gently fold in the crab meat and crushed crackers until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — you want to keep the crab lumps intact.
  4. Shape the mixture into large mounds or “bombs” (about the size of a small baseball) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve hot, optionally with a drizzle of melted butter, lemon wedges, or a dipping sauce like tartar or remoulade.
