Famous Crab Bombs
Ingredients:
1 lb jumbo lump crab meat (fresh or pasteurized)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup crushed saltine crackers or breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Butter for greasing the baking dish
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Mix the Binder
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped parsley. Stir until smooth.
Add Crab Meat and Crackers
Gently fold in the crab meat and crushed crackers, being careful not to break up the lumps — keep the mixture chunky.
Form the Crab Bombs
Shape the mixture into 4 large balls and place them gently in the prepared baking dish. Make sure they are firm but not packed too tightly.
Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and the centers are set.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of extra parsley.
