Method

Crab Mixture Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped green onions. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Season the Mixture

    Add Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the crab mixture. Adjust seasoning according to taste. Mix thoroughly.

Breading Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Breading

    In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 4

    Form the Crab Fingers

    Using your hands, shape the crab mixture into finger-like shapes, about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.

  2. 5

    Coat with Breading

    Roll each crab finger in the panko breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

  3. 6

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the coated crab fingers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 7

    Drizzle with Olive Oil

    Drizzle the olive oil over the crab fingers to help them crisp up during baking.

  5. 8

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crab fingers are golden brown and heated through.

  6. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
