1 pound fresh crab meat
3 slices of white bread, crust removed
1 egg beaten
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon parsley

Steps:

  • Make breadcrumbs in food processor so they are chopped up fine. In a large bowl, mix together egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and Old Bay seasoning. Add breadcrumbs and crab meat and mix by hand to avoid breaking up too many of the lumps. You may need to break up the very large lumps however so the crab balls will stay together.

Tips:

  • If you don't have Panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but they won't be as crispy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab nuggets, or they will become tough.
  • Serve the crab nuggets with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
  • If you're making the crab nuggets ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the crab nuggets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the crab nuggets in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
