In a separate bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs over the crab mixture, followed by the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

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