- Step 3: Add Ingredients - Mix in the chopped green onions, parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Step 4: Fold in Crab - Gently fold the lump crab meat into the mixture, careful not to break it up too much.
- Step 5: Chill Mixture - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Step 6: Shape Bombs - Roll the mixture into uniform balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Step 7: Coat in Panko - Roll each ball in panko bread crumbs until fully coated.
