For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. If preparing ahead of time, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it, covered, for up to 24 hours. Add an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time to ensure the casserole is heated through. Fresh lump crabmeat provides the best flavor and texture, but pasteurized crabmeat can be substituted in a pinch. Serve with a crisp green salad and a side of crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
