If you are hosting this holiday season it is good to have a few recipes on hand that you can put together quickly so that you have more time to enjoy your guests.
This is an easy brunch dish that takes minutes to assemble yet looks like it took hours to prepare.
The ingredients can be varied, such as substituting the crab for smoked salmon or cooked baby shrimp.
This serves 4 to 6. The recipe can be doubled if you have a crowd.
Serve with a crisp green salad and warm baguette.
Crab Brunch Bake
- 2 cans of crab meat drained
- 2 cups of large croutons

- 1/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of shredded old Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 each diced onion and red pepper
- 1 tsp each of savory, parsley and thyme
- butter for greasing the pan
Grease an 8x8 baking dish with the softened butter.
Arrange croutons on the bottom of the dish.
Arrange crab on top of the croutons.
In a bowl beat the eggs with the milk then combine with spices and vegetables.
Pour over the croutons and crab. Sprinkle cheeses over top.
Bake for about 30 minutes until eggs are set and cheese is bubbly.
