Description
Crab Rangoon Bombs are a fun twist on the classic appetizer, featuring creamy, cheesy crab filling wrapped in flaky biscuit dough and deep-fried to golden perfection. Ideal for parties or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., flaky Pillsbury Grands, separated and flattened)
1 cup softened cream cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella (or Italian-style blend)
½ cup finely chopped imitation crab meat
1 green onion, finely sliced (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Neutral oil (canola or vegetable) for frying
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, crab meat, green onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Flatten each biscuit into a disc using your fingers or the bottom of a glass.
- Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each biscuit, fold up the edges, and pinch to seal into a ball, seam-side down.
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a pot to 350°F.
- Fry a few bombs at a time for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Try adding sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- Use extra mozzarella or Parmesan for a cheesier filling.
- Mix in fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for added flavor.
- For a baked version, spray with oil and bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes.
- Freeze unfried bombs and cook directly from frozen with slightly longer fry time.
