Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 casserole, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 English muffins
3 tablespoons butter, softened
12 ounces crabmeat, cooked and drained (lump is best)
3/4 cup swiss cheese (shredded)
3/4 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
6 -8 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon parsley

Steps:

  • Split the English muffins with a fork, and spread 3 Tbsp softened butter on them. Grease a 2 quart rectangular baking dish and set is half of the muffins, buttered side up. (A two-by-three array works well.)
  • In a separate bow, fold together crabmeat,cheeses, and capers. Evenly distribute crab-cheese mixture on top of the muffins.
  • Put remaining muffin halves over mixture to cover (buttered side up).
  • In a pan, sautee onion in the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter for 4-6 minutes until cooked.
  • Add the sherry and the Worcestershire sauce to the onion and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl stir together the eggs, milk, mustard, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste (go easy on the salt due to the cheese and capers). Put the egg mixture over the muffins and press down on the muffins to help the egg mixture moisten them.
  • Cover and put in the refrigerator overnight.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean. (It may look wet due to the oils, but you should not see any raw egg.) Let stand a few minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients beforehand: Chop and measure all ingredients before starting to cook to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Fresh crab is best: If possible, use fresh crab meat for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese used can greatly affect the taste of the casserole. Use a Swiss cheese that is flavorful and melts well.
  • Season well: Don't be afraid to season the casserole to taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the crab, cheese, and other ingredients.
  • Cook until bubbly: Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Conclusion:

This Swiss crab casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a seafood dish to try, give this Swiss crab casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
