- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process, then set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat and blanched broccoli, being careful not to break up the crab too much.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy and satisfying Crab Broccoli Bake!
