A delicious and cheesy seafood croissant bake featuring layers of shrimp and crab, perfect for a holiday brunch or a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large croissants (or 1 sheet puff pastry), sliced in half
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1 cup lump crab meat
  • 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth. Slowly stir in milk, then add garlic, Old Bay, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thick, then mix in Parmesan — this is your creamy base for ultimate cheesy layers.
  2. Layer Like a Boss: In a greased baking dish, layer croissant halves or puff pastry on the bottom. Spoon over a bit of the sauce, sprinkle shrimp and crab, then mozzarella — this combo is rich, flaky, and totally next-level.
  3. Repeat and Finish the Stack: Continue layering until ingredients are used up, finishing with cheese and sauce on top for that perfect golden crust and cheesy viral appeal.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden, bubbly, and irresistibly crispy on top. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing — the cheesy pull is real.
  5. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm. This dish delivers cozy, over-the-top flavor in every buttery bite.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use low-fat cheese and milk.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • Feel free to add other seafood like scallops or lobster for a more luxurious dish.
