Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound lump crab meat
1 cup crushed cornflakes cereal
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 scallions, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
1 large egg, at room temperature
Kosher salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
2 small red bell peppers, stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed
2 small yellow or orange bell peppers, stemmed, halved lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed
Olive oil, for drizzling
1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the crab, cornflakes, half the prosciutto, the mayonnaise, scallions, egg, 1 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper, if using.
  • Spoon the filling into the bell pepper halves, dividing it evenly. Place the remaining prosciutto on top of the filling and drizzle with olive oil. Arrange the filled peppers in a single layer in a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish or small roasting pan. Pour the broth around the peppers. Bake until the peppers are tender, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter and serve.
