  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gathering your ingredients is like preparing for a mini adventure. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound lump crab meat
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use panko for extra crunch)
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

If you’re out of Old Bay seasoning, a mix of celery salt and paprika can work in a pinch. And if you’re feeling adventurous, add a dash of cayenne for some heat!

Instructions

Let’s bring these Crab Cake Egg Rolls to life! Follow these simple steps:

  1. Start by gently mixing the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and green onions in a large bowl. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
  2. Add the breadcrumbs and gently fold them into the mixture until just combined. This helps to bind everything together.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly toward the top corner and seal with a dab of water.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the egg rolls in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with lemon wedges if desired.

Remember, if the egg rolls aren’t browning evenly, adjust the heat. Too high, and they’ll burn before cooking through; too low, and they’ll be soggy.
