7. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a casserole dish or individual ramekins for serving.
8. Transfer the Mixture: Spoon the crab mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
9. Top with Breadcrumbs: Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the crab mixture for a crispy finish.
10. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
