An elegant and creamy baked lump crab dish perfect for special occasions, combining flavors and textures that create an unforgettable seafood experience.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb lump crab meat (drained, approximately 454g)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120ml)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning (5g)

  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (2.5ml)
  • 1/2 cup sharp white cheddar (shredded, approximately 60g)

Instructions

  1. Start by mixing the mayonnaise, beaten egg, Old Bay seasoning, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and melted butter in a large bowl. Blend until smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the lump crab meat and shredded sharp white cheddar. Be careful not to break up the crab too much.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top turns a golden brown.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added crunch, consider topping with breadcrumbs before baking. Adjust seasonings based on your preferences, and feel free to swap cheeses or add seafood for variation.
