Look for refrigerated crab meat for the best texture and flavor. Avoid imitation if possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong>\u00a0Gives a creamy base that helps hold the filling together. Use a high quality mayo for richness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dijon mustard:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds tang and depth. A good brand makes a difference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Worcestershire sauce:<\/strong>\u00a0Offers a savory umami kick. Go for one with real anchovy in the ingredients if you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong>\u00a0Holds the filling together and keeps it light. Use a fresh egg for optimal binding.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breadcrumbs:<\/strong>\u00a0Lends structure and slight crunch. Panko or fine breadcrumbs both work, but fresh is best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions:<\/strong>\u00a0Adds a hint of sharpness and color. Choose onions with no wilting or browning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red bell pepper:<\/strong>\u00a0Brings sweetness and vibrancy. Opt for firm, glossy peppers for best results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong>\u00a0Brightens the flavors and cuts the richness. Fresh squeezed makes all the difference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Old Bay seasoning:<\/strong>\u00a0Signature taste here. Use fresh Old Bay and check the best by date for full flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper:<\/strong>\u00a0Essential for balance. Use kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper if possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg roll wrappers:<\/strong>\u00a0Crispy outer shell. Look for ones with no cracks and keep them sealed until use to avoid drying out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetable oil:<\/strong>\u00a0Neutral flavor and high smoke point for frying. Go for a fresh bottle for best results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"paragraph-6\" class=\"txt-xxl\">Instructions<\/h2>\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-135\" data-ezhumixplayerlocation=\"true\" data-ezoic-video-included=\"1\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1254144,23061005166\/Content_3\/d2a58fe197385042759dfb186c81375c_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<dl>\n<dt><strong>Prepare the Crab Filling:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, green onions, red bell pepper, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently just until mixed. Too much mixing can break up the crab meat and change the texture of your filling.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Assemble the Egg Rolls:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean work surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about two to three tablespoons of crab filling near the center. Fold the bottom up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly. Add a small dab of water to seal the edge so your egg roll stays together as it fries. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Heat the Oil:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan to make a layer about one to two inches deep. Heat on medium high to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit. You can check if the oil is ready by dropping a piece of wrapper in and watching for good sizzling action.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Fry the Egg Rolls:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Carefully place the crab cake egg rolls into the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for three to four minutes per batch, turning as needed so every side becomes golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them, then set them on paper towels to drain off excess oil.<\/dd>\n<dt><strong>Serve and Enjoy:<\/strong><\/dt>\n<dd>Serve the egg rolls while they are warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce is classic, but a spicy aioli or even cocktail sauce works wonderfully.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<figure id=\"paragraph-8\" class=\"txt-s pin-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/myhomemaderecipe.com\/assets\/images\/1753480709660-xwk6ot55.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1400px) 738px, (min-width: 1040px) calc(66.76vw - 63px), (min-width: 860px) calc(100vw - 64px), 717px\" srcset=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/fit=contain,width=1024,format=auto\/assets\/images\/1753480709660-xwk6ot55.jpg 1024w,\n                              \/cdn-cgi\/image\/fit=contain,width=768,format=auto\/assets\/images\/1753480709660-xwk6ot55.jpg 768w,\n                              \/cdn-cgi\/image\/fit=contain,width=480,format=auto\/assets\/images\/1753480709660-xwk6ot55.jpg 480w\" alt=\"A plate of food with a variety of ingredients, including shrimp, rice, and vegetables, is presented on a table.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><a class=\"pin icon-wrapper\" title=\"Pin it - A plate of food with a variety of ingredients, including shrimp, rice, and vegetables, is presented on a table.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?media=https%3A%2F%2Fmyhomemaderecipe.com%2Fassets%2Fimages%2F1753480709660-xwk6ot55.jpg&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fmyhomemaderecipe.com%2Frecipes%2Fcrab-cake-egg-rolls&amp;description=A%20plate%20of%20food%20with%20a%20variety%20of%20ingredients%2C%20including%20shrimp%2C%20rice%2C%20and%20vegetables%2C%20is%20presented%20on%20a%20table.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"txt-s\">Pin it<\/span><\/a><figcaption>A plate of food with a variety of ingredients, including shrimp, rice, and vegetables, is presented on a table. | myhomemaderecipe.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<aside id=\"paragraph-9\" class=\"note\">\n<h2 class=\"icon-wrapper txt-xl\">You Must Know<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>High in protein thanks to real crab meat<\/li>\n<li>Great for making ahead and quick reheating<\/li>\n<li>Versatile dipping makes each bite different<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<div id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-136\" data-ezhumixplayerlocation=\"true\" data-ezoic-video-included=\"1\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/1254144,23061005166\/Content_4\/d2a58fe197385042759dfb186c81375c_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Old Bay is something I grew up adding to every crab dish, so for me the aroma always brings back memories of summers by the coast.

Make sure they are cooled fully before storing in an airtight container. To reheat just pop them in a hot oven or air fryer until crispy again.
