Soak the bread crumb with milk for 8 minutes.
Soften the onion and garlic in butter for 5 minutes.
Add the crab meat, white wine, salt, and black pepper, then cook for 4 minutes.
Stir the milky bread, cream, and parsley into the mixture.
Transfer the filling to a baking dish and sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
Bake the pastel de jaiba for 16 minutes at 190°C, until browned.
Rest the dish for 5 minutes after it leaves the oven and serve while the cheese is still hot and flowing.
💡 Tip: If using canned crab, drain it well; extra liquid makes the gratin heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve pastel de jaiba hot with lemon wedges and green salad.
