Method
 

How to Make Irresistibly Quick Sensational Famous Crab Bombs
  1. In a large bowl, combine the lump crab meat, creamy mayonnaise, tangy Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Add the panko breadcrumbs and lightly beaten egg to the bowl. Fold everything together carefully to maintain the integrity of the crab meat.
  3. With clean hands, form the mixture into golf ball-sized bombs, aiming for about 12 portions.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Place the crab bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  6. Generously brush the tops of the bombs with melted unsalted butter.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and slightly crispy.
