CRAB TOAST
Like the very best crab cakes on earth, which have as little dulling, distracting or deadening filler as possible, these crab toasts take that ethos to the extreme. There is no call for bell pepper or bread crumbs or diced celery; just the best fresh, sweet, saline crab meat you can buy, gently seasoned with a little lemon juice, bound with a tiny amount of tangy crème fraîche, then piled onto a slab of good toast, still warm. The toast is made ever so luxurious with a slathering of nutty brown butter mayonnaise. These two simple components - crab and brown butter toast - act in concert, and a glass of cold rosé to wash them down makes for the most exhilarating, satisfying spring supper imaginable.

Steps:
- In a small sauce pot, brown the butter over medium heat, swirling the pot, until the butter is caramel-colored and has a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, scraping up all the milk solids from the bottom and sides of the pot while the butter is still hot, and let cool to room temperature.
- Place the egg and egg yolk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, a healthy pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon cold water in the bowl of a food processor. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. Once all the oil has been added, the mayonnaise should be loose yet emulsified. While the processor is still running, slowly drizzle in the brown butter and any toasted milk solids. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
- For the crab salad, gently and quickly mix crab meat, olive oil, chives, crème fraîche and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice together in a bowl. Season to taste with salt.
- Schmear each piece of toasted bread with the brown butter mayonnaise evenly - as we like to say, "wall to wall." Divide the crab mixture among the slices, piling it evenly on top.

- Fill center of each crepe with crabmeat mixture. Roll crepes up and transfer them to a shallow buttered ovenproof dish.
- In a mixing bowl combine the bread crumbs, oil, garlic, parsley, chives, and Parmesan. Mix well and sprinkle over the filled crepes. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Serve hot.
- On top of a double boiler over simmering water combine crabmeat with shallots, mustard, horseradish, salt, pepper, lemon juice, bichamel sauce and mayonnaise. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.
- Melt butter in a saucepan. Add onion and saute until transparent. Stir in flour and cook over medium heat until a roux is formed. Mix in thyme and nutmeg. In another saucepan, bring milk and salt to a boil. Pour hot milk quickly into the roux and stir until thickened. Simmer slowly for 15 minutes, stirring constantly.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Carefully press each slice of bread into ungreased muffin cups.
- Brush bread with butter.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two days.
Tips:
- Always use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. A good quality cream cheese will be smooth and creamy, and it will not have a sour taste.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs to the crab mixture. Fresh herbs, such as chives, dill, or parsley, will add a pop of flavor to the crab toast cups.
- Serve the crab toast cups immediately. Crab toast cups are best when they are served hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Creamy crab toast cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give creamy crab toast cups a try.
