Ingredients
Scale
1/2 lb lump crab meat (shells removed)
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
2 tbsp mayo
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
6–8 egg roll wrappers
1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
In a bowl, combine crab meat, cream cheese, mayo, Dijon, bell pepper, green onions, and spices—this is the flavor-packed creamy base that delivers serious snack vibes.
Place a spoonful of the crab mixture on each wrapper. Fold, roll tightly, and seal edges with the beaten egg—this is your perfect crispy bundle setup for a next-level seafood snack.
Heat oil to 350°F and fry rolls 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. This step locks in that golden crunch factor and makes it game day ready.
Let them rest on paper towels to soak excess oil. The exterior stays super crisp while the inside stays creamy, a texture win every time.
Pair with spicy mayo, sweet chili, or remoulade sauce—or enjoy straight up for a crispy handheld appetizer win.
Notes
Adjust the spices to taste for more or less heat.
These can be made ahead of time and frozen before frying.
For a healthier option, consider baking instead of frying.
