How To Make artichoke and crab balls

  • Step 2
    Stir in the eggs and cook 2-3 minutes until they begin to set. Stir in 1-1/2 cups of the bread crumbs and salt and pepper to taste and cook another 2 minutes until hot. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese. Mix thoroughly and set aside to cool.
  • Step 3
    Preheat oven to 350F. When mixture is cool enough to handle, roll into bite size balls. Roll balls in additional breadcrumbs and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
