CRABMEAT MORNAY



Crabmeat Mornay image

Crab is a favorite of mine. This recipe can be made with either imitation or real crabmeat. If using imitation, chop to about 1/2-inch size. If using real, be sure to pick out the bits of shell and cartilage that may be there. This is rich, and not very diet friendly. I got the basics of this recipe from a restaurant in Virginia...

Terrie (Blessed1) helped me lighten up this dish - although I opted to keep the egg yolks! They seem to have a thickening power that egg substitute does not. It was delicious! Thanks, Terrie. Now we can choose whether to be decadent or not!

Very rich dish that I serve in a chafing dish with Ritz Crackers for special events such as Christmas or showers. This also can be served over patty shells or toast.
