Crab meat
Mayonnaise
Cream cheese
Egg
Garlic
Cheese
Parsley
Salt & pepper
Add a little of the soft bread pieces for texture (optional).

Spoon the crab mixture into the hollowed bread.
Place the top back on or leave open.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or Old Bay seasoning.
You can swap crab for shrimp or chicken.
Serve hot — it’s best when the inside is creamy and the outside is crispy.
