Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing the dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, green onions, and softened cream cheese. Ensure the cream cheese is well distributed but don’t overmix as you want the crab meat to remain in chunks.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crab Cream Cheese Breakfast Bake!
