Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh crab meat, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, dry breadcrumbs, minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Thoroughly mix the ingredients ensuring the crab meat is well-coated with the seasoning.
3. Evenly distribute the seasoned crab mixture into individual ramekins or into a single, lightly greased baking dish.
4. Place the ramekins or the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The dish is done when the top is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly and slightly crispy.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. This dish is best enjoyed hot, as an appetizer or a main course, accompanied by a fresh green salad and a glass of crisp white wine.
