Crab Imperial

By Lady Butterfly

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb fresh lump crab meat
• 2 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp heavy cream
• 1 egg, beaten
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 tsp Old Bay seafood seasoning
• 1/3 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• fresh parsley, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, and egg. Carefully mix until combined (I used my mini-food processor). Add the crab meat, lemon, Old Bay, and salt. Toss gently to combine.

Spoon mixture into 4 individual ramekins or another small baking dish, and place on baking sheet. Top with a bit of the cheddar cheese.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until everything is starting to brown and bubble.

Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
