- 1 pound crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- Divide crabmeat among 4 heatproof plates and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix bread crumbs with olive oil, parsley and salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle over crabmeat and pat lightly into a crust.
- Make sabayon: In a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water beat egg yolk, and lemon juice until light and frothy.
- When eggs are pale, begin to drizzle in vanilla oil, continuing to whisk until all oil is added -- sauce will thicken slightly.

- Drizzle generously over top of crab.
- Bake plates in oven for 2 minutes or until crumbs are lightly brown.
