Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and then whisk in the flour, stirring continuously for about 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Add the chopped onions, celery, salt, and cayenne pepper to the skillet, cooking while stirring for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables become slightly soft and fragrant.
- Pour in the milk, continuing to stir for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and has a creamy consistency.
- Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions, stirring briefly to combine and heating through for about 1 minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the crab mixture into a 9-inch glass pie dish or divide it among six small ramekins for individual servings.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs with a dash of seasoning rub, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the crab filling.
- Finish by sprinkling the shredded white cheddar cheese over the bread crumbs for a deliciously cheesy crust.
- Place the pie dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Once baked, carefully remove from the oven and let it stand for about 2 minutes before serving to allow it to set slightly.
