Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh lump crab meat

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup finely chopped green onion

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Oil for frying (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.

    Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.

      Add the chopped green onion, Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.

        Use your hands to shape the crab mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.

          Roll each ball in panko bread crumbs until fully coated for an extra crispy texture.

            If frying, heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the crab bombs in batches until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

              If baking, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the crab bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

                Once done, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
