Source of Recipe


RC


List of Ingredients




1/2 large onion
2 ribs celery
1 to 2 cloves of chopped garlic
1 sticks butter
2 tablespoons flour
1cup plus one ounce evaporated milk
1 egg yolk
1 lb lump white crabmeat
red (cayenne) pepper, to taste
Tabasco, to taste
1-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt to taste and Cajun seasoning to taste
8 ounces mild white cheddar cheese, grated


Recipe



Chop onion, garlic and celery and sauté in butter over medium heat until soft. Stir in flour. Heat for 2 more minutes [until flour is cooked and smells nutty]. Then, stir in evaporated milk. Mix well and remove from heat [bring just to a boil to thicken]. Add egg yolk and crabmeat. Add seasonings to taste. Stir in cheese, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top. Bake in casserole dish at 350 deg F for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbling. [I added everything before gently stirring in the crabmeat, so it wouldn't break up].

Serves 6 as main course, 10-12 as dip. .................................
