• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

🍽️ How to Make It :
1️⃣ Mix the Crab Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, parsley, crushed crackers, and lemon juice until combined.
2️⃣ Fold in the Crab
Gently add the jumbo lump crab meat and carefully fold it into the mixture, keeping the large crab pieces intact for the best crab bomb texture.
3️⃣ Shape the Crab Bombs
Divide the mixture into 6 large portions and form into round mounds. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4️⃣ Bake Until Golden
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the crab bombs are heated through and lightly golden on the outside.
5️⃣ Make the Lemon Butter Drizzle
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, chives, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
6️⃣ Finish & Serve
Transfer the crab bombs to a serving platter and generously drizzle with the warm lemon butter sauce. Garnish with extra chives and lemon wedges if desired.
