This was really delicious. I used imitation crab meat and some leftover sauteed onions. Broke up the toast in a bowl and poured the Au Gratin over it. Excellent!

My family ate this as fast as I could serve it. I added 2 tablespoons of minced celery! Tastes great as a dip for carrots and celery too.
