Categories     Shellfish

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stalk celery, chopped fine
1 cup onion, chopped fine
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 can (13 oz) evaporated milk
1 pound crab meat (if using from the can, be sure to rinse very well to remove the salts used to preserve it)
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 pound grated cheese of your choice (Cheddar, Parmesan, Gruyere, etc.). Ms. Lil always used Cheddar to my knowledge.

Steps:

  • Sauté onions and celery in butter until onions are wilted. Blend flour in well and cook to make roux with vegetables. Gradually pour in milk stirring constantly. Add egg yolks and both peppers. Cook for 5 minutes. Put crabmeat in a mixing bowl and pour the cooked sauce over it. Blend well and then transfer into a lightly greased casserole and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until light brown. Serves 6. A special note from Ms. Lil says that she usually mixes her crabmeat and grated cheese and then adds to the sauce. She also notes to grease the baking dish, and she mixes sauce with crabmeat in the same dish in which she bakes to save clean up. She also puts in a special note that you can boil redfish in crab boil, and it will taste like crab.

I'm not a big fan of crab, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was amazing!

This dish is definitely best served fresh out of the oven. The leftovers were not as good.

I had to make a few substitutions due to dietary restrictions, but the crab au gratin still turned out great!

The crab au gratin was a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

The crab au gratin was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.
