Sunday Brunch: Deviled Crab Recipe

• 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
• 3/4 stick unsalted butter
• 3 (1/2-inch-thick) slices good-quality white sandwich bread such as a pullman loaf, crusts discarded
• 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
• 6 (4- to 5-inch-wide) scallop shells or 5-oz shallow ramekins

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F with rack in middle. Cook onion in butter in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Tear bread into very small pieces, then spread in 1 layer in a shallow dish or pie plate. Pour onion and butter mixture over torn bread and let stand 15 minutes.
3. Add crab, egg, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and gently toss.
4. Divide mixture among shells and bake until crab is just starting to brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
