Famous Crab Bombs

Ingredients:

• 1 lb lump crab meat (preferably fresh, picked over for shells)

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

• 1 tsp lemon juice

• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1/4 cup crushed Ritz crackers (or use panko for a lighter texture)

• 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

• 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing or drizzling)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it.

2. In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay, lemon juice, Worcestershire, garlic powder, beaten egg, crackers, and parsley. Don’t overmix — keep the crab in big chunks if possible.

3. Form into large mounds or “bombs” — about the size of a baseball. You should get around 4–5.

4. Place on baking sheet and brush or drizzle with melted butter.

5. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.

6. Serve hot, optionally with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of extra Old Bay.
