Crabmeat au Gratin from Don's

Crabmeat au Gratin is one of my favorite crabmeat dishes. Here's Don's version, which is still on the menu.

1/2 cup celery, chopped fine

1 cup onion, chopped fine

1/4 pound butter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

13 ounce evaporated milk

2 egg yolks

1/2 cup grated American cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 pound white crabmeat

1/2 pound grated American cheese

Sauté onion and celery in butter until the onions are wilted. Blend flour well with this mixture. Pour in the milk gradually and add 1/2 cup of the grated cheese, stirring constantly. Add egg yolks, salt, cayenne, and black pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Put crabmeat in a bowl suitable for mixing and pour the cooked sauce over the crabmeat. Blend well and then transfer into a lightly greased 8x10-inch casserole and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 375℉ for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
