Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces lump crab meat
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease two ramekins or small baking dishes.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, heavy cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the large pieces. Mix just enough to combine.
Evenly divide the crab mixture into the two prepared ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the crab mixture, and sprinkle with the shredded Parmesan cheese.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or a pinch of paprika for presentation.
