Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Dungeness crab (about 2 lbs)
1 can (8 oz) shrimp bisque soup, ready to eat
1 jigger dry sherry
1 Tbsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp flour
3 Tbsp butter
3 egg yolks
6 egg whites
9 slices bread, buttered, no crust, cut into 1/2 inch strips
10 oz grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Set the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the base: Melt 3 Tbsp of butter in a sauce pan. Add 3 Tbsp of flour, and stir until completely mixed. Add 1 can (8 oz) of shrimp bisque soup, 1 jigger dry sherry, 1 Tbsp dry mustard, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Allow to cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Beat the 3 egg yolks until lemony. Add the yolks to the mixture slowly, stirring constantly. Set aside. Prepare the crab: Remove all meat from the shell, leaving pieces as intact as possible. Prepare the egg whites: Beat the egg whites until stiff. Final assembly: Add the beaten egg whites to the mixture, being careful not to stir them too much. Use a 2 1/2 quart oven proof casserole. You will prepare 3 layers of bread, crab meat, cheese,and base mixture. For each layer, place one third of the bread strips in the casserole. Then add one third of the crab meat, and one third of the base mixture, and one third of the cheese. Bake at 350 for one hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes).

I thought this souffle was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't wow me either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my souffle didn't rise very much. It still tasted good, but it wasn't as impressive as I had hoped.
