Crab & Asparagus Puffs
Merry Christmas!!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday! It's been entertaining around here, gas lines accidentally turned off, no heat or hot water... etc. Good times! Everything is all fixed up now and the Christmas ham has about 15 degrees to go! Can't wait to dig in!
Because I knew we'd be grazing on appetizers and treats all day, I wanted to make a nice Christmas breakfast but keep it light. I saw a recipe a while back for some cheesy crab and artichoke breakfast puffs. I decided to do my own spin - less cheese, more crab, asparagus, and few other additions.
Exactly what we needed to start the day! They were light, fluffy, and the flavors worked perfectly together. Can't wait to double, triple, or quadruple this recipe for a brunch with friends!
Ingredients
5 beaten eggs
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
8 oz. cottage cheese
5 oz. crab meat - use the good stuff, it really pays off!
4 spears asparagus
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
S&P
Directions
1. Cook asparagus in boiling water until crisp tender. Plunge in cold water and thinly slice
2. Combine all ingredients and pour into 6 buttered ramekins. Bake 30 minute at 350 degrees F until golden.
Like I said, we wanted to keep it light but these would be great served with hollandaise sauce. They are very easy but taste quite gourmet. Perfect for special occasions and entertaining when you want results without investing a lot of time!
