1
Saute onions and celery in butter until onions are wilted. Blend flour in well and cook to make roux with vegetables. Gradually pour in milk stirring constantly. Add egg yolks and both peppers. Cook for 5 minutes. Put crabmeat in a mixing bowl and pour the cooked sauce over it. Blend well and then transfer into a lightly greased casserole and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until light brown. Serves 6.
2
A special note from Ms. Lil says that she usually mixes her crabmeat and grated cheese and then adds to the sauce. She also notes to grease the baking dish, and she mixes sauce with crabmeat in the same dish in which she bakes to save clean up. She also puts in a special note that you can boil redfish in crab boil, and it will taste like crab.
