Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, gently fold together the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper.
  2. Carefully incorporate the panko breadcrumbs and beaten egg into your crab mixture.
  3. Using about one tablespoon of the mixture, roll it into balls roughly 1.5 inches wide.
  4. Roll each crab ball in extra panko breadcrumbs for an extra layer of crunch.
  5. Place the shaped crab bombs on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. While your crab bombs chill, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Once preheated, place the chilled crab bombs on the baking sheet and brush with melted unsalted butter.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown and heated through.
