Method
 

How to Make Famous Crab Bombs
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the jumbo lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, Dijon mustard, egg, fresh parsley, and breadcrumbs. Gently fold to keep those perfectly succulent crab lumps intact.
  2. Using your hands, shape the crab mixture into small mounds, approximately the size of a baseball.
  3. Set your oven to preheat at 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  4. Place the crab bombs on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between them. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  6. Serve immediately with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.
