Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 1 1/2 quart casserole, or 4 individual casseroles.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix the egg yolks well with the half and half (or whip the softened cream cheese and mix with the egg yolks). Stir the milk into the cream of chicken soup in a saucepan and heat gently. Reserve scant 1/4 cup soup for topping.
• 3. Stir the rest of the soup slowly into the egg yolks mixture. Add in the butter, salt, and crabmeat. Turn the mixture into the prepared casserole dish(es).

Steps:

• 1. On medium heat melt butter in large skillet then add green onions and sauté until tender.
• 2. Add flour and stir well to remove lumps. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. You don't want to brown the flour but cook out the raw flour taste.
• 3. Add the half & half, liquid crab boil and cheese and let it melt down into the mixture, stirring often. You only want this to come to a simmer; DO NOT LET IT BOIL or the cheese may separate and get grainy.
• 4. When heated through add the parsley, sherry and granulated garlic, stir well and fold in crab meat. Heat through and be careful not to break up crab meat. Add salt & cayenne pepper to taste.
• 5. Serve in a chafing dish or small crock pot with garlic parmesan panetini toast or melba toast.
• 6. *Note: I use the special lump crab meat, which comes from the claw. It doesn't break down as easily as the white lump but still has an amazing crab flavor and texture. You can also use 1 pound of lump crab meat but it will break down very easily. Pick through for shells and cartilage and make sure to drain ALL of the liquid from the crab meat.
