This casserole is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and then just baked it in the morning. It was perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

I'm not a fan of spinach, but I loved this casserole! The crab and cheese flavors were so good that I didn't even notice the spinach. I'll definitely be making this again.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover crab. I always have crab leftover after a crab boil, and this is the perfect way to use it up. The casserole is delicious and easy to make.

I've never made a casserole before, but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! The casserole was cooked perfectly, and the crab and spinach were tender and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

This casserole was a disaster! The eggs didn't cook all the way through, and the spinach was mushy. I don't know what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not a big fan of crab, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The casserole was delicious, and the crab flavor wasn't overpowering. I'll definitely be making this again.

This casserole was a little too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the best casserole he'd ever had. I think I'll try making it again with less cheese next time.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. The casserole was light and fluffy, and the crab and spinach flavors were well-balanced. I would definitely make this again.

This is one of my favorite recipes! I love the creamy texture of the casserole and the flavor of the crab and spinach. I always add a little extra cheese to the top for gooey goodness.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The combination of crab, spinach, and eggs was perfect, and the cheese topping was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
