This recipe is too complicated. I don't have time to make a dish that takes this long.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy. It was more like a thick soup.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I used a white wine that I had on hand and it worked perfectly. The crab was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious.

This spicy crab mornay was a hit at our dinner party! The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the crab was cooked perfectly. We served it over angel hair pasta, and it was delicious.
