# Ingredients:
→ Core Ingredients
01 -
4 egg yolks
02 -
200ml thick cream
03 -
200g of fresh crab meat
04 -
2 tablespoons of sugar
05 -
Salt and black pepper, adjust as needed
→ Extras
06 -
Grated Parmesan
07 -
Zest of lemon
# Instructions:
01 -
Take your fresh crab and ensure it's dry. Canned or frozen works too, just make sure to get rid of any leftover liquid to avoid a soggy dish!
02 -
In a bowl, beat together the yolks and cream until it’s nice and smooth. Toss in some salt, pepper, and lemon zest (if you like), then fold the crab meat in gently so it stays fluffy.
03 -
Evenly divide your crab mix between 4 ramekins. Place them in a pan and add enough steaming water around them to reach halfway up the ramekin sides.
04 -
Slide the dish into an oven preheated to 325°F (160°C). Cook for 30-35 minutes until the center jiggles slightly when nudged—just like a good custard.
05 -
Dust some sugar over each cooked ramekin, then use a blow torch to melt it into a crisp, golden shell. Let them cool before eating—good things take time!
# Notes:
01 -
For a luxurious twist, swap the crab with lobster.

You can go dairy-free by picking a cream substitute that fits your needs.
