🍀 Perfect for parties or a flavorful snack, these crab bombs offer a satisfying crunch with a rich, savory filling that’s easy to prepare and enjoy.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Approximately 38 crab bombs

Ingredients

– 1 package cream cheese

– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

– 2 cans or 1 pound fresh lump or white meat crab, drained

– 1 cup imitation crab, flaked

– 5 green onions, chopped

– Salt to taste

– Panko breadcrumbs for coating

– 2 eggs, beaten

– Vegetable oil for frying, filling pan halfway

Instructions

1-Getting started with Crab Rangoon Bombs: Begin by combining the cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, crab meats, imitation crab, green onions, and salt in a bowl, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. This chilling step helps the mixture hold its shape, making the next parts smoother.

2-Once chilled: prepare two bowls: one with the beaten eggs and another with panko breadcrumbs. Form the mixture into balls about the size of a half-dollar coin, then dip each one into the egg and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. It’s a good idea to get all the balls ready before heating the oil to keep things organized.

3-Heat the vegetable oil: in a frying pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, making sure it fills the pan halfway for even frying. Fry the bombs until they’re golden brown and crispy, then remove them and drain on paper towels. The whole process, including active preparation and cooking, takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and you can adapt it by baking at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes if you prefer. For a healthier twist, remember tips like briefly freezing the bombs to prevent any bursting during cooking.
