Crab Brulee Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh crab meat A mix of lump and claw for the best texture.
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream For a luxurious feel.
- 2 large Egg yolks To bind the mix and make it custard-like.
- 2 tablespoons Butter For cooking the crab and adding flavor.
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar For caramelizing the topping.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking dish or ramekins with coarse salt for the crab mixture.
- Mix the crab meat with the heavy cream in a bowl.
- Put the crab-cream mix into the dishes, but don’t fill them too much.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with a bit of sugar until they’re light and creamy.
- Drizzle the egg yolk mix over the crab, making sure it covers evenly.
- Bake the crab brulee for 20-25 minutes. It should be set around the edges and a bit jiggly in the middle.
- Let the dishes cool a bit before adding a thin sugar layer on top.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it’s golden-brown and crisp.
