Crab Souffles
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup (4 oz) crabmeat
- 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Brush six 8-oz ramekins with some of the melted butter. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs to coat, shaking out excess.
- Combine remaining butter in a saucepan over high heat with flour and mustard; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Gradually blend in milk until smooth. Return to heat; cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Reduce heat to low; simmer 3 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk egg yolks into sauce. Add crabmeat, cheese, parsley and zest; season to taste.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold into crab mixture.
- Spoon mixture evenly among ramekins; place on an baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, until well risen and just set. Serve immediately.
