By MooK

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup thinly sliced white onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 tablespoon dry sherry (optional)
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound fresh lump blue crabmeat

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add butter. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent in color, approximately 2 minutes. Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute. Gradually add half-and-half, cheeses, and remaining ingredients except crab. Once thoroughly combined, gently fold crab meat without creaking up lumps. Pour into a lightly greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.
