Ingredients

• 16 oz lump crab meat
• 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.75 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
• 0.5 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the mixture. If using hot sauce, add it at this step. Stir well until all seasonings are mixed in.

Step 4

Gently fold in the lump crab meat, shredded Swiss cheese, and green onions. Be careful not to break apart the crab meat too much.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 7

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
