### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Famous Crab Bombs

#### Step 1: Handle Crab Gently

Place your crab meat in a large bowl and **do not break it up** — the goal is to keep those beautiful chunks whole.

#### Step 2: Mix the Binder

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

* Egg
* Mayonnaise
* Dijon mustard
* Lemon juice
* Old Bay
* Parsley
* Optional hot sauce or Worcestershire

Pour the mixture gently over the crab meat.

#### Step 3: Fold Carefully

Add a very small amount of crushed crackers or panko — **just enough to bind**, not to bulk.
Gently fold everything together with a soft spatula or your hands. Don’t overmix.

#### Step 4: Shape and Chill

Form the mixture into large, rounded balls — like baseball-size mounds (this is what makes them “bombs”).
Place on a baking sheet and **chill for 30 minutes** to help them hold together during cooking.

#### Step 5: Bake or Broil

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden crust.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden and heated through.

**Optional:** Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra browning.
