Cook time: 40 minutes
Arrange a rack about 6 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine bread and crema, mixing to coat evenly. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, 10 to 12 minutes. Add bread mixture, crab, milk, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add Manchego cheese and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is very thick and liquid has absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Transfer to a 2/12- to 3-quart casserole or baking dish, sprinkle with cotija cheese, and broil until top is browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve warm, with sliced bread for dipping. Serves 8 to 12.
