Ingredients

Scale

Crab Bombs:

  • 1 pound crab meat (fresh or canned)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for binding)

Additional:

  • Oil for frying (if deep frying)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and ensure your crab meat is well-drained and free of shells.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine crab meat, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bind the Mixture: Add the beaten egg to the mixture. Stir well until fully incorporated. The mixture should hold together; add additional breadcrumbs if needed.
  4. Form the Bombs: Take about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture and roll it into a ball shape. Repeat until all the mixture is formed into bombs.
  5. Choose Cooking Method:
    • For Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the crab bombs on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
    • For Frying: Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully add the crab bombs, frying them in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: If frying, remove the crab bombs and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  7. Serve Hot: These crab bombs are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the oven or fryer.
