Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For custard
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears) or thawed frozen
1/3 cup whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
For crab topping
1 (3/4-lb) king crab leg, thawed if frozen and shell discarded
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Special Equipment
4 (2-oz) ceramic or glass ramekin

Steps:

  • Make custard:
  • Cook corn in a 1-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until very tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and drain in a sieve.
  • Purée milk and hot corn in a blender until almost smooth, then force through a very fine sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Whisk in egg and salt and divide custard among ramekins.
  • Steam custards in a steamer set 1 inch above simmering water, covered with lid, until centers are set and a thin knife inserted into center of 1 custard comes out clean, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove ramekins from steamer with tongs and cool custards slightly.
  • Make crab topping while custards cool:
  • Coarsely chop 1/4 cup crabmeat and reserve remainder for another use. Heat butter in a small heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook crab, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in chives.
  • Serve custards topped with crab.

These custards were a great way to use up some leftover crab meat. They were quick and easy to make, and they were a big hit with my family.

These custards were a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been made with less eggs, or if the eggs had been beaten less.

I thought these custards were just okay. They were a bit bland for my taste, and I didn't really care for the texture. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of steamed.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my custards turned out really rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I love corn and crab, so I was really excited to try this recipe. I was a bit disappointed, though. The custards were a bit too runny for my taste, and the flavors were not as strong as I had hoped.

These custards were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more seasoning, or maybe even a bit of cheese.

I love the idea of using corn and crab in a custard, but I found that the flavors were a bit too subtle for my taste. Next time, I think I'll add a bit of Old Bay seasoning to give them a little more kick.

These custards were a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth the effort. The combination of corn and crab is a classic for a reason, and the steamed custard method gave them a light and airy texture that was simply divine.
