â—¦ 3 scallions, thinly sliced
â—¦ ½ cup finely chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
â—¦ 2 ½ pounds crab meat

Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss together celery, green peppers, scallions, and parsley. Add crab meat, half the bread crumbs, dry mustard, hot sauce, heavy cream, and all but 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt to taste.

Transfer mixture to a lightly buttered baking dish and top with remaining bread crumbs. Melt remaining butter and brush over top. Bake until crumbs are golden, 10 to 15 minutes.

Lightly dress salad greens with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to taste. Serve deviled crab warm with toast and salad on the side.
