Cómo preparar Crab Meat Au Gratin
- Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in pepper, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the Gruyère cheese until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and lemon juice.
- Gently fold in the crab meat into the cheese sauce.
- Pour the crab mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture evenly over the crab mixture.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with a dash of paprika.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
