Tip!

This casserole is easy to vary, by substituting the crab meat for canned tuna, or other cooked fish like mackerel or shrimp. If you would like to make this dish even more gourmet, feel free to use parmesan cheese or gruyère for some extra wonderful layers of flavor. You may like spinach, olives, sundried tomatoes – feel free to express your inner foodieness.
