List of Ingredients




1 pound lump crab meat
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 6 Tbsp. butter, divided
• 1/2 small onion
• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup light cream
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. thyme
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. white pepper
• 4 oz. swiss cheese, grated
• 4 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, grated

• Chives


Recipe



Inspect crab meat for shells and press out excess liquid. Place equal amounts of meat into four individual au gratin dishes. Melt three tbsp. of the butter and add lemon juice. Pour equal amounts of butter sauce over each dish of crab meat. Next, in medium saucepan melt remainder of butter, add onions and saute until lightly browned. Blend in flour and cornstarch. Stir constantly while slowly adding milk and cream. Heat to a low boil; continue cooking and stirring until mixture just begins to thicken. Add cheeses, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic. Heat and stir until cheeses melt and sauce is smooth. Add small amount of sauce to egg yolks; blend; return to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Pour equal portion of sauce over the four dishes of crab meat and blend. Broil until tops are lightly browned, then bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with whole or chopped chives.
