- 5 egg whites, room temperature

- Set aside.
- Whisk in the egg yolks, one by one.
- Flake the crabmeat into the sauce, using your fingers.
- Make sure to pick out any membrane as you go.
- Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.
- (You should go a bit heavier on the seasoning to counteract the blandness of the egg whites).
- In a very clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Gently fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the base.
- Then fold this mixture into the remaining egg whites as gently as possible.
- Pour the souffle mixture into the prepared dish.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Run your thumb around the edge of the dish.
- At this point the souffle may be refrigerated up to two hours before baking.
