Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe.

Note 1: We add the Panko/butter combo - my youngest loves the crunch. If needed to limit carbs or you are keto don't add the panko mixture.

Note 2: Canned crabmeat is cost-effective and works great in this recipe. If you prefer, use fresh crab.
