Crab Mornay

Crab Mornay is a wonderful recipe. Great as an appetizer.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 pint milk
• 1 pound white crabmeat (I use imitation and it turns out fine)
• 1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated
• 1 cup grated cheese (Cheddar, sharp, etc. whichever you prefer), for topping

Instructions

1. Melt butter. Add flour, pepper, and salt. Make a paste by adding milk slowly. Gradually stir in remaining milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to make a thick white sauce.
2. Into greased baking dish (I use a 3 quart dish) layer: 1 pound white crabmeat 1 pound grated Monterey Jack cheese white sauce.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of baking dish. Top the last 5 minutes with more grated cheese.
