Ingredients
1 package (8 oz / 225 g) cream cheese, softened
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cans (6 oz each) or fresh lump crab meat, well drained
1 cup imitation crab, flaked
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat oil for frying.
- In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, lump crab meat, and imitation crab until well combined.
- Scoop 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll into small balls.
- If baking, place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If frying, prepare a pot with oil to submerge the bombs halfway.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce or enjoy plain.
Notes
- Freeze for 10 minutes before cooking to help bombs hold their shape.
- Add sriracha or red pepper flakes for heat.
- Mix in chopped green onions or chives for an herby touch.
- Can be wrapped in wonton wrappers for a traditional version.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes for a healthier option.
