In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, drained crabmeat, garlic powder, salt, and half of the shredded cheddar until homogeneous.

Transfer mixture into a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
04 -
Bake the mixture for 20 minutes or until visibly bubbling around the edges.
05 -
Switch the oven to broil mode and broil the dish briefly until cheese develops golden-brown spots, watching carefully to avoid burning.
