Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces crab meat
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 3 pieces green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.75 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve 0.5 cups for topping), Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Gently fold in the crab meat and chopped green onions to avoid breaking the delicate crab pieces.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until the crumbs are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese over the crab mixture, followed by the panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy topping.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of paprika for presentation, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your Crab a Licious Casserole!
