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.

Step 4

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.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the olive oil until the crumbs are lightly coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese over the crab mixture, followed by the panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy topping.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
