1 cup minced shallots

1 cup heavy cream

5 ounces cream cheese

1/3 cup mascarpone cheese

16 ounces Creole cream cheese

6 tablespoons minced green onion

4 pounds lumb crabmeat, picked free of shells' divided

12 ounces goat cheese

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Toasted brioche baguette slices, to serve.


Preheat oven to 350 ℉.

In a large skillet, melt 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add shallot, sauté until softened. Add cream, and cook until reduced by two-thirds. Reduce heat to low; fold in cream cheese and mascaropone. Slowly add Creole cream cheese. ( The sauce will be thin.) cook until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; add green onion, and let cool.

Place cream cheese mixture back over low heat to warm; gently fold in 2 pounds crabmeat. Scoop mixture in 12 (6 to 7-ounce) ramekins. Top with goat cheese.

Broil until goat cheese is hot and slightly melted.

In a lagre skillet, mely olive oil with remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add remaining 2 pound crabmeat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
