Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Melt two tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and blend well. Do not brown. Add the milk and cook, stirring with a whisk, until blended and smooth. Season with cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
- Add the cream, bring to a boil and simmer briefly about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half of the sherry, beat in the egg yolk well and remove from heat.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook them briefly until wilted. Add the crab meat and cook briefly, stirring gently. Sprinkle with the remaining sherry.
- Spoon the crab meat into a baking dish and smooth over with a spatula. Cover with the hot sauce and spoon it over with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place the dish under the broiler until golden brown and bubbling hot.
