Ingredients
-
1 lb lump crab meat
-
1/4 cup mayonnaise
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
-
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
-
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
12 egg roll wrappers
-
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
-
Mix Crab Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Assemble the Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold in the sides and then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges with a small amount of water to ensure they stay closed.
-
Heat Oil: In a large skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge the egg rolls completely.
-
Fry the Egg Rolls: Working in batches, carefully place the rolled egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
-
Serve & Enjoy: Serve your freshly fried Crab Cake Egg Rolls with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, like tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. Enjoy the crispy crunch and savory crab flavor!
Notes
-
For a healthier version: You can bake these egg rolls instead of frying them. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the egg rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Make ahead: You can assemble the egg rolls and freeze them before frying. Just place them on a baking sheet, freeze them until solid, then store in a zip-lock bag. When ready to cook, fry straight from the freezer – you may need an extra minute or two in the oil.
