Tips & Tricks

For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning on top before baking.
Serve the Crabmeat Delight with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a burst of citrusy freshness.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
Experiment with different types of crabmeat, such as lump crabmeat or claw meat, to vary the texture and taste.
To make it a complete meal, serve the Crabmeat Delight over a bed of steamed rice or with a side of roasted vegetables.

Serving advice

Serve the Crabmeat Delight hot, straight from the oven, as the crust will be at its crispiest. Pair it with a fresh green salad or a side of crusty bread to complete the meal.

Presentation advice

To present the Crabmeat Delight elegantly, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley on top for a pop of color. Serve it in individual ramekins or on a decorative platter to showcase its golden-brown crust.
