Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 eggs, beaten
2 c milk
2 c seasoned croutons
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1 lb fresh crabmeat
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
  • 2. In large bowl, mix the eggs, milk, croutons, cheese, onion, and parsley. Stir in the crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • 3. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into center of the casserole comes out clean. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Ensure crab meat is fresh and high-quality: Fresh crab meat will have a sweet and delicate flavor, while older crab meat may have a fishy taste.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the casserole. Some good choices include onions, celery, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Season the casserole well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to taste. Some good choices include Old Bay seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The crab meat should be cooked through but still tender. Overcooking will make the crab meat tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This is when it will be at its best. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning.

Conclusion:

Crab brunch casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
