Crab And Brie Casserole With Wild Mushroom Crumb Topping Recipes

YOGURT-FRUIT MUFFINS WITH BRAN CRUMB TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease muffin pans or line with paper liners.
• For the batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the yogurt, peaches, brown sugar, cane sugar, canola oil, vanilla and egg. Mix until combined. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
• For the topping: Combine the bran, walnuts and sugars in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Stir in the melted butter.
• Fill the prepared muffin cups with batter and divide the crumb topping over each muffin. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

WILD MUSHROOM CROSTINI TOPPING

Steps:

• In a skillet set over medium heat, heat olive oil until hot. Add the scallions and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes more. Transfer to a food processor and puree. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRAB CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saute pan on medium heat. Sweat shallots, garlic, carrot, celery and yellow corn in oil until tender; do not brown. Add white wine and reduce to almost dry, followed by lobster stock and whipping cream. Reduce by half to a slightly thick consistency. Remove from heat. Fold in chopped parsley; season with salt and pepper. Add crabmeat and mix together. In 6 ungreased small individual baking casseroles, pipe a small layer of potato puree on bottom. Divide the stuffing equally among casseroles on top of potatoes. Cover with shredded cheeses.
• Bake in 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 8 minutes; remove and garnish with fried leeks.
