Tips:
- Use fresh crabmeat for the best flavor. If using frozen crabmeat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be careful not to overcook the crabmeat. It should be cooked through, but still tender and flaky.
- Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc works well.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor. Pre-grated cheese will not melt as smoothly.
- Serve the crabmeat au gratin immediately after baking. It is best enjoyed hot and bubbly.
