Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup imitation crab meat, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dough and Coating

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Cooking spray or oil (for baking or air frying)

Optional Garnish and Serving

  • Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
  • Additional sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven or air fryer: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking of the Crab Rangoon Bombs.
  2. Make filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, finely chopped imitation crab meat, thinly sliced green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Prepare dough: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into 8 individual rounds. Flatten each round into approximately 4-inch disks using your hands or a rolling pin to prepare for filling.
  4. Add filling: Place about 1 ½ tablespoons of the crab mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit dough round.
  5. Seal bombs: Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly together to form sealed balls, ensuring no filling leaks during cooking.
  6. Arrange: Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet if baking, or directly into the air fryer basket if air frying.
  7. Egg wash: Brush the top of each dough ball with the beaten egg. This step helps the bombs bake to a beautiful golden color with a glossy finish.
  8. Bake or air fry: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, until the exterior is golden brown and the dough is fully cooked through.
  9. Serve: Allow the Crab Rangoon Bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with sweet chili sauce and a sprinkle of additional sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • For a crispier texture, you can lightly spray the bombs with cooking spray before baking or air frying.
  • These bombs can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before cooking.
  • Imitation crab can be substituted with real crab meat for a more authentic flavor, but it will increase the cost.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, as they are best enjoyed warm.
