    Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until cheese is light golden brown. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

  • Make it extra special by using refrigerated or frozen (thawed) real crabmeat in place of the imitation.
  • Can't find ricotta cheese? Use dry-curd cottage cheese instead.
