Default Crab Au Gratin

Crab Au Gratin

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash of white pepper
1/4 cup sherry
12 ounces crab meat
1 cup crackers, finely crumbled
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated

Crush crackers between waxed paper with a rolling pin. Reserve just enough crumbs and cheese to top the casserole. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes or until golden. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly over low heat. When flour is blended,gradually add hot milk (scalded) and blend with a whip. Continue stirring over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add salt, pepper, and sherry, and continue cooking while stirring for about one minute. In a bowl, mix crab meat, sauce, and the extra cracker crumbs and cheese. Place in a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle reserved cracker crumbs and cheese on the top of the casserole. Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Bake uncovered at 350F for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

MsMai,

This is a wonderful dish to prepare and EAT! I have also had it with a combination of seafood and it is great that way as well. I love au gratin dishes! Thanks so much for sharing!

Cathy
