- 1
In a skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped bell pepper, celery, and onion (the classic 'Cajun trinity'). Sauté until the vegetables are soft.
- 2
After about 10 minutes, once the vegetables are well cooked, add the garlic and sauté briefly so it doesn't burn. Gradually add the flour and stir for 2 minutes.
- 3
While the vegetables are cooking, mix the milk and heavy cream together. If you have a microwave, warm the mixture slightly until lukewarm. You can also heat it gently in a saucepan—just be careful not to let it scorch.
- 4
Add the milk and cream mixture to the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until you have a light sauce.
- 5
Reduce the heat. Add the green onions and parsley, then stir in the seasonings and crab meat. Add the shredded cheddar and mix well. Season with salt and taste.
- 6
Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a large buttered baking dish (or use individual au gratin dishes if you prefer). Sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top.
- 7
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes. If you want a golden top, broil for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot.
