Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a medium bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
Fold in the panko breadcrumbs and the beaten egg gently until just combined.
Shape about a tablespoon of the crab mixture into a ball, roughly 1.5 inches in diameter.
Roll each shaped crab bomb in extra panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Refrigerate the coated crab bombs for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush melted unsalted butter over the tops of the crab bombs.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
