Recipe View 10 mins Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the custard to set slightly and makes it easier to slice. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
If fresh crabmeat is unavailable, you can substitute with high-quality canned crabmeat, ensuring it's well-drained.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a blend of Italian cheeses would all be delicious.
To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it overnight. Add an extra 15-20 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

    I added some old bay seasoning and it was divine

    Easy to make and so impressive. I used imitation crabmeat (surimi) because I was on a budget, and it still tasted great!
