CREAM CHEESE CRAB PUFFS
I found this recipe in an old cookbook that my mom gave me when Mathew and I moved in together. I think they're great, especially when served with some grilled asparagus and a big glass of sweet tea.

CRAB AND ASPARAGUS TART
A savory tart, its silky custard thickly studded with crab meat to pick up the sweetness of the wines, and asparagus to tame tropical fruit and citrus flavors with vegetal, mineral notes and a hint of bitterness, will make for a lovely lunch or a predinner snack. Come summer, some diced zucchini can replace the asparagus. It also delivers a kick, not in the filling but in the pastry. There's no heat from the subdued alcohol in the bottle. The cayenne in the crust makes up for it.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne in a bowl or blend in a food processor. Add 6 tablespoons of butter and cut in or pulse until size of peas. Beat 1 egg with 2 tablespoons ice water, scatter on flour mixture and mix with a fork or pulse until a dough can be gathered together. Add a little more water if needed. Form into a disk and roll on a lightly floured surface, then lay it into a 9-inch straight-sided tart pan.
- Trim edges, line with foil and weight with pastry weights or dry beans. Bake 10 minutes, until it starts to look dry. Remove foil and weights and bake 10 to 15 minutes more, until lightly browned. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
- Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat, add shallot and cook 1 minute. Add asparagus and cook about 2 minutes, until they start to soften. Remove from heat. Fold in crab meat, lemon juice and chervil. Season with salt. Spread in pastry.
- Whisk half-and-half and cheese until smooth. Beat in remaining eggs until well blended. Pour over crab and asparagus, place in oven and bake about 40 minutes, until set and lightly browned. Let cool 15 minutes, remove sides of pan and serve at once or cooled to room temperature.

Steps:
- Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
- For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
ASPARAGUS AND CRAB CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Gradually add the milk and stir until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the Cheddar and Swiss cheeses, and stir until melted. Add the salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Hold an asparagus spear with both hands, about 2 inches from the ends. Gently bend the asparagus until it snaps. It will break at the point where the stem gets too tough to be enjoyable; discard the stem. Repeat for all your asparagus. Cook the asparagus in boiling water until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
- Place the asparagus in a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Scatter the crab meat over the asparagus, then pour in the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, then bake for about 30 minutes or until top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
