Brush the inside of the hollowed out loaf with melted butter or olive oil (optional) then bake (unfilled) in a loaf pan for 30 minutes on 350°F.

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except mozzarella cheese for filling; set aside.

When done baking, stir and pour into bread. Cover with cheese and put in oven until cheese is melted and bread is crispy. Remove from oven; stir the mozzarella cheese into the crabmeat mixture. Sprinkle with Old Bay seasoning, as desired.
