Serves: 24
INGREDIENTS
- 12 ounce crab meat
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup horseradish sauce
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup gluten free panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
- ⅛ teaspoon Italian herbs
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Topping:
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce, or to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to broil with top oven rack in top third of oven.
- Spray a baking sheet with coconut oil or olive oil spray.
- In a large bowl pick through the crab meat. If using imitation crab, use your hands to shred to break up not finer pieces.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the horseradish and sour cream.
- Add the breadcrumbs, Old Bay, fines herbs, garlic powder, mustard and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until well combined.
- Slowly stir the egg mix into the crab. Mixing gently but completely.
- Using your hands shape crab mixture into 1”-1½” balls packing together tightly.
- Place crab bites on baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they do not burn. You are not really cooking the meat but solidifying the mix and cooking the egg.
- When the tops are golden brown, remove from oven and continue cooking second batch of crab bites.
- When cool place on serving plate and drizzle Sriracha sauce over each bite before serving.
NOTES
Store uneaten bites in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
