Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Gently pick through the lump crab meat to remove any shells, being careful not to break up the meat too much.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, heavy cream, egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Carefully fold in the lump crab meat and parsley using a rubber spatula, being gentle to keep the crab meat intact.
Divide the mixture evenly into four individual ramekins or baking dishes.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the breadcrumbs and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the crab filling in each ramekin.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the mixture is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a wedge of lemon, if desired, and serve warm.
