Blue Crab Gratin
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces jumbo lump crabmeat (preferably Louisiana blue crabs)
- 2 ounces Brie (preferably Brie de Meaux)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives plus more for garnishing
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Piave Vecchio or Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- Warm bread
Steps
- Preheat broiler to high. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until reduced by half, 5–7 minutes. Add crabmeat and simmer until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; gently fold in Brie and chives and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 12-oz. baking dish and sprinkle Piave Vecchio over in a very fine layer, then panko. Broil until cheese is golden brown, about 1 minute. Garnish with more chives and serve with warm bread.
