This is the first recipe I tried out of the new slow cooker and casserole cookbook and it was so good and very easy to assemble. I don’t care for the thought of seafood for a brunch item so I made it for supper, served along with salad and fruit. Soup would probably complement it well also. I did not add any salt as there is plenty in the cheese and canned crabmeat I used. It didn’t need any. I baked mine in a 7 x 11 dish. I would probably double this recipe for more than 4 people, if it is the only maindish you are serving.

I guess this was really good. I didn’t even get to have any! I served this at my son’s baptism reception and it went REALLY fast! I doubled the recipe and we had 25 guests, but we had other foods as well. I am going to try it as a main dish this weekend and maybe I will get to try some this time:)

This was good, but not great. With it being a casserole, I expected more eggs. I did changed it up a bit and used Old Bay Seasoning instead of the onion and parsley combo. To be honest, I think it was a little overwhelming with the seasoned croutons and the Old Bay Seasoning….it over powered the taste of the crab. I will probably make this again with Old Bay, but will try it w/unseasoned croutons. Guess it’s all a matter of taste….my husband loved it.

I have tried this following the recipe. It is excellent. Then the next time I tried this, I made it with Monteray Jack cheese, 3/4 T. onion powder, and fresh parsley. Both times I have used freshly grated parmesan cheese. This was awesome. I make it in a flat 8 x 11 pan.

I can’t really rate this recipe, as I changed it so much! I didn’t like the idea of Cheddar with crab, so I used 1/2 cup shredded Mozzerella and 1/2 cup swiss; 1/2 cup sauteed onion instead of dried; I used three eggs instead of two; only 1-1/2 cup of seasoned croutons; and I added 1 tblsp. of dried basil. I used an 8 x 11-1/2 dish and cooked for 45 min. This was absolutely delicious & light (yet filling). We had a spinach salad tossed with Ceasar dressing (nice complement).

Wonderful! Has become a regular at my house. I’ve used with cro?tons before, but I normally use with breadcrumbs now. And I scale it down for 4 servings since I just make it for my husband and I. Other than that, I never change anything. The taste is terrific and it’s filling. It’s easy to make and doesn’t require too much time in the kitchen. It also uses most ingredients that I already have on hand. 5 stars.

5 stars for the ease of this recipe! I added an extra lb of shrimp & crawfish (2lbs seafood total), 1 extra cup of milk, 1 extra egg, & more croutons, Old Bay seafood seasoning, fresh ground sea salt & black pepper. I used a garlic & cheese flavored crouton. This was a raging hit at my Open House. Realtors in the South are known for our good cookin’!

I was looking for a crab dish to serve with a steak dinner and this was perfect! I followed the recipe as listed and it turned out absolutely wonderful. It was such a great compliment to the ribeyes I grilled. To add to the greatness of this dish, the leftovers reheated beautifully for a quick breakfast the next morning. Highly recommended.

I did not care for this recipe. This was a 4F selection; flavourless,flawed,fishy and forgetable. What is”medium” when it comes to casserole size? The end result was watery even after an hour in a new oven and as for taste? It got lost somewhere in the eggs and milk even with extra seasonings, 3 cheeses instead of one, Romano instead of Parmesan and Caesar flavoured croutons. I’m glad it was served only to my husband and me.

Very good! I made this for dinner for company (served over egg noodles) and they ended up requesting the leftovers to take with them! I made a few changes based on other reviews. 1 – I substituted 1/2 cup sauteed onions for the dried onions. 2 – I added a half tablespoon of Old Bay. 3 – I couldn’t find unseasoned croutons (and was worried based on other reviews of the seasoned overtaking the crab taste) so I used bread cubes. This was PERFECT for company! I will definitely make again!

I halved this recipe, and used onion & garlic powders, and a tsp of Old Bay. I also topped the Parm with some panko, and baked it about 30 minutes at 350. Be sure to use the best freshly grated cheeses you can. I’ll probably add freshly sauteed onions and garlic next time. This was delicious–and so easily varied. Thanks!

Not wanting to spend the money for fresh crab, I used two cans of crab meat. The meat was so shredded that it was barely noticeable in the dish. I used 4 eggs, about a cup and a half more milk, as I used the whole bag of croutons, which required more liquid to soak them up. I also added some chopped tomatoes and a little chopped green pepper, which added to the color and flavor. All in all it turned out very good, even with all the adjustments. Next time I’d spend the extra money for the fresh crab but save the dish for very special occasions. But I would make it again in the future when the right occasion comes up.

I have made this dish a few times before but didn’t have quite a pound of fresh crabmeat so I decided to follow another idea a review had and add 1/4 -1/2 lb of shrimp, cut in half, 1tbsp. old bay seasoning, 1/2 minced onion and another egg. Came out great, my family loved it and it was so fast and easy to make. I will definately make it adding the shrimp from now on.

A new Lenten favorite! Used Gruyere instead of cheddar, fresh, chopped onion , and some old stale Italian bread instead of croutons, seasoned with a bit of melted butter and Old Bay. I had reduced a bit of the liquid (used 1% milk and FF half&half), next time I’ll make it just a bit wetter. I, too, used 4 eggs. Oh, and shook some Frank’s Hot Sauce on it when I served it. This was a HUGE succes with my husband, he wants the leftovers for breakfast tomorrow!

This was very good. I’m going to use it for a Bunko brunch. I used Ciabatta Asiago croutons and 8 oz of crabmeat and it was sufficient crab.
Ok so this is interesting. Maybe my taste buds changed, but I tried this again at a later date and thought the ratio of bread/crouton to crab made the dish too bready and mushy. I won’t make it again after this second round.

I baked this recipe and it was wonderful…i used one pound of fresh lumb crab meat and 2 cans of white lumb crab meat…i doubled my recipe and used slightly sauted GREEN ONIONS with some of the green stems. I used fresh parsley and used 4 tablespoons. i added 4 extra eggs and used 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 2 1/2 cups of 2% milk. I mixed in the chedder cheese and an 8 ounce jar of fresh parm cheese…i put this recipe together over night then this morning i sprinkled a little panko on top and added a little parm cheese…looks beautiful!!! i also used texas toast seasoned crutons

Texture came out spongy and the flavor sour. I used canned crabmeat since I had it on hand. I suspect the lump form would not have turned out as bad, especially texture-wise. But bad enough I don’t plan on trying to find out. Made exactly as written, except I didn’t have parsley so I omitted it.

This is a good base recipe but I added 1 extra egg, 1/4 cup white wine, used light half & half instead of milk, and used 2 lbs total of seafood (crab, lobster meat, and small shrimp). I also added old bay seasoning and used 1/4 cup chopped onion instead of minced, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup of parmesean cheese. Served with a salad and white wine, fabulous!

So easy! I used imitation crab and discovered it was only a 12 oz. Pkg,but ii was no less delicious. I used 1/2 c of finely chopped fresh onion an extra egg, and about 1/4 cup of seafood cocktail sauce which is just ketchup with. horseradish added. I thought it was more tangy and flavorful than when I made it before without the sauce. One tasty serving is very filling and only 273 calories!

I suppose things might have been a bit different if I could have afforded real crab, but with imitation this recipe was OK at best. It was bland and the texture was strange, perhaps due to the imitation crab, and that was the only modification I made. I will not make it again unless I can afford real, uncanned crab.

I used Mexican cheese instead of cheddar, but 5 stars! Maybe try more eggs next time, since it wasn’t very eggy? And make sure to stir in the crab completely. Some spots were all crab and some were all croutons. E was either tired and disagreeable or actually didn’t like it. DH, A, and T loved it.

This was GREAT!! We had friends over for brunch and decided to make this casserole (for the first time) to serve. We did use real crabmeat ($26/lb @Costco). I also added 1 extra egg (3 total) and 2 tsp. of Old Bay Seasoning (based on reviews). I used Texas Toast Garlic & Butter croutons. It was delicious. I allowed the mix to rest in the refrigerator for 3 hours prior to cooking to allow the croutons to soak in the liquids. Would make this again and again. Be aware that this is not a ‘egg’ casserole, it’s a crab casserole with eggs as binding and it’s delicious.

Delicious although I did alter it as other cooks. I added four instead of two eggs, added some shrimp, and used one cup of gluten free bread crumbs instead of croutons since I couldn?t find gluten free croutons. I also used Gruyere cheese. I will definitely be making this again. No fake crab for me!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS RECIPE!!
I am deathly allergic to crab so I used turkey instead. Instead of eggs i used butter and salt on the outside and i put the seasoned croutons INSIDE the cavity. I didn’t like the idea of cheddar cheese on my turkey so I replaced that with thyme. Instead of a casserole dish i put it on a roasting pan. Three hours later i had a great turkey i served for thanksgiving. Wonderful recipe.

Everyone at a bridal shower brunch LOVED this! Modified to add an egg, but pretty much followed the recipe to the letter. Make sure to use herb seasoned croutons as most of the flavor will probably come from that. Also use lump crab meat if using canned. The white crab is so shredded you won?t be able to tell there?s crab in the dish.

This was a very good casserole that everyone liked. I made it exactly as described, but did add an extra egg as some reviewers suggested and was glad I did because it set up nicely. I do think it needed something else though to take it up a notch. Next time I will add old bay and maybe some cayenne pepper.
