Instructions
Creating Delicious Crab Crunchies is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for a successful outcome:
1. Prepare the Crab Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the Mixture: Using your hands, form the crab mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.
3. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated. This will give them a crispy texture when fried.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Fry the Crunchies: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the crab balls in the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Using a slotted spoon, remove the crunchies from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve Warm: Allow the crunchies to cool slightly before serving.
