Cooking spray or oil, as needed

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F or set your air fryer to 350°F.

Step 4: Spoon 1½ tablespoons of the crab mixture onto the center of each dough disk.

Step 6: Arrange the filled bombs seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
Step 7: Brush the tops of each bomb with the beaten egg.

Step 9: Allow bombs to cool slightly before serving. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a lighter filling, substitute cream cheese with cottage cheese.
Using real crab meat instead of imitation crab will enhance the flavor.
Chives can replace green onions for a milder onion taste.
Fresh minced garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for a stronger aroma.
Try soy sauce as an alternative to Worcestershire sauce for a different umami twist.
Swap refrigerated biscuit dough with puff pastry for a flakier, more delicate crust.
Brush the bombs with milk instead of egg for a dairy-friendly option.
Olive oil or melted butter can be brushed on top to add extra flavor depth.

Storage

Store leftover crab rangoon bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving to maintain their crisp texture.
