CRAB IMPERIAL CASSEROLE
YUM! Fennel adds a subtle sweet note, but you can omit if it's not on hand. You can also adjust sherry to taste, I just love sherry with creamy crab dishes. This recipe calls for a casserole dish but use individual ramekins if desired, just adjust to a shorter baking time.

Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen or canned crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.

- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and texture to your Crab Imperial Bake. Some good choices include bell peppers, onions, celery, and mushrooms.
- Use a creamy sauce. A creamy sauce will help to bind the ingredients together and make the bake more flavorful. You can use a béchamel sauce, a velouté sauce, or a simple cream sauce.
- Top with cheese. Cheese is a classic topping for Crab Imperial Bake. It adds flavor and a golden brown crust.
- Serve with a side of rice or bread. Crab Imperial Bake is a rich and flavorful dish, so it's best to serve it with a side of something light and simple, such as rice or bread.
