How to Make Crab Broccoli Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Steam or blanch 1 pound of broccoli florets until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Drain well.
Spread the broccoli evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Top the broccoli with 1 pound of flaked crab meat and 1/2 cup of chopped yellow onion.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the crab and broccoli.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
