Time 35m

Yield 12 large canapés or 36 small hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices country bread, 1/2-inch thick
2 large eggs, separated
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 tablespoons pesto, homemade or bought
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 pound lump crab meat
Paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place rack in center of oven. Lightly toast bread and place on foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Place egg yolks, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, the salt and 1/2 tablespoon pesto in food processor or bowl. While processing or whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in olive oil; continue mixing until thickened to a mayonnaise. Transfer to a clean bowl and mix in crab meat. Stir in remaining lemon juice.
  • In another bowl, beat egg whites until they hold peaks. Fold into crab-meat mixture.
  • Spread toast with remaining pesto and top each slice with crab-meat mixture, covering it completely. Lightly dust with paprika. Bake 15 minutes, until puffed and browned. Cut each slice in half and serve at lunch or as a first course, or cut each slice in six pieces and pass as hors d'oeuvres.

I would love to try making these canapés, but I don't have a kitchen torch. Is there another way to brown the tops of the soufflés?

The soufflé didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found that the soufflé was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the recipe.

These canapés were surprisingly easy to make. I was worried that the soufflé would be difficult to get right, but it turned out perfectly.

Absolutely delicious! The soufflé was light and airy, and the crab meat was perfectly cooked. I served these canapés at a party and they were a huge hit.
