We had this for dinner tonight with a side salad. It was a good, well written recipe that resulted in a rich, but subtle dish. I think it could be improved with a little Tabasco, Worchestershire and a green onion. I didn't enjoy coming across tiny wet spots of cream cheese and would sub light cream for that in the future. I used real egg yolks.

    WOW! This is really excellent! I served this for supper, but would best be served as a brunch dish, as recommended by Paula. I used real eggs, 2% milk and real cream cheese, which made for a very rich crab custard casserole. Serve in small portions and be prepared to receive lots of compliments ; ) Thanks, Paula!

    This dish is just amazing, definitely company-worthy & something any cook would be proud to serve. I made a half recipe for 2 of us in gratin dishes & added only Old Bay Seasoning as I favor using it in crab recipes. I got 4 sml servings & we had no trouble at all eating 2 servings ea for a dinner meal. Like Bev, I see this dish as more ideal for a brunch as you suggested or even as a lovely dinner party starter or luncheon entree. I used all full-fat ingredients, so it had a rich & mellow taste w/a souffle texture. Freshly snipped chives would make a good add to provide a color variant & for their flavor. Thx for sharing this sure to be repeated recipe w/us.
