New Orleans Deviled Crab
Description
This New Orleans-style deviled crab is a luxurious take on classic seafood casseroles. Tender, flaked crabmeat is gently folded into a rich mixture of mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, and aromatic herbs. Baked in a dish with a crunchy topping of butter-toasted breadcrumbs, the result is a dish with contrasting textures: creamy, savory filling beneath a crisp, golden crust. It is an elegant yet comforting main course that feels special enough for holiday gatherings but is simple enough for a sophisticated weeknight dinner.Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
In a large bowl, gently combine the flaked crabmeat, 1 cup of the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped celery, prepared mustard, chopped green pepper, chopped parsley, chopped chives, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, beaten egg, and chopped hard-cooked eggs.
-
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly distributed, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
-
Spoon the crab mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish and spread it out evenly.
-
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs with the melted butter.
-
Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the crab mixture.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
