Creamy Potato Scalloped

Ingredients

Regarding the Crab Salad:

1. One pound of lump crab meat that has been filtered for shells
2. Half a cup of mayonnaise
3. One tablespoon of Dijon mustard
4. One tablespoon of lemon juice
5. Half a teaspoon of Old Bay spice, or to taste
6. 1/4 tsp black pepper
7. 1/4 cup of finely chopped green onions
8. 1/4 cup of finely chopped celery
9. One teaspoon of dried dill or one tablespoon of freshly chopped dill

Regarding the Cups:

• First Choice: Tiny Phyllo Cups
• One packet of little phyllo pastry cups, which are often located in the freezer area
• Choice 2: Cups of Lettuce
• One head of endive or butter lettuce, cut into individual leaves

As a garnish:

• slices of lemon
• Fresh chives or dill sprigs

Directions

Get the crab salad ready.

• The lump crab meat, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, black pepper, green onions, celery, and dill should all be gently combined in a large mixing basin.
• Be cautious not to split up the crab flesh too much when mixing. If needed, taste and adjust the seasoning. To let the flavors combine, cover and chill for at least half an hour.

Get the cups ready:

• As directed on the packaging, preheat your oven for the Phyllo Cups. The little phyllo cups should be baked for five to seven minutes, or until they are brown and crispy. Before filling, let them to cool off.
• In order to serve lettuce cups, gently wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, leaving them whole.

Put the Crab Salad Cups Together:

• Spoon a liberal portion of crab salad into each phyllo cup if using them. If using lettuce, stuff each leaf with a dollop of crab salad.

Serve after garnishing:

• Serve each cup with a lemon slice on the side and a little dill or chives sprig.
• Serve right away or refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

Advice

• Crab Meat: Use premium lump crab meat for maximum flavor. Although it will have a distinct texture, imitation crab can also be utilized if you’re on a tight budget.
• Make Ahead: The crab salad can be made several hours ahead of time and refrigerated. To keep the cups crisp, simply fill them just before serving.
• Variations: To give the crab salad more taste and texture, add chopped avocado, bell peppers, or a little spicy sauce.
