Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 2

    Mix the Crab Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the melted garlic butter, Peekytoe crab meat, Espelette pepper, lemon juice, chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine without breaking up the crab meat too much.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. 4

    Fill and Bake

    Transfer the crab mixture to a baking dish. Spread it evenly and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer or a side dish.
