• Butter or oil spray (for baking or air frying)

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven or air fryer:
   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) or the air fryer to 190°C (375°F).

2. Prepare the crab mixture:
   In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, parsley (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
   Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

3. Add the breadcrumbs:
   Gradually add breadcrumbs a little at a time, just until the mixture holds together.
   Do not overmix to maintain a light, fluffy texture.

4. Shape the bombs:
   Form the mixture into round balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.

6. Serve:
   Serve warm with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

 Notes

• Use the least amount of breadcrumbs necessary to keep the bombs tender and juicy.
