Ingredients (Makes 1-2)

  • 1 crab
  • 2 small cornichons
  • 10g butter
  • 50g cheddar cheese

Method

  1. Mix together the brown and white meat of a pre-cooked crab, press back into the shell, and cover with chopped cornichons.
  2. In a small pan, melt the butter, then add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Add the flour, then slowly whisk in the milk and scotch bonnet sauce until thoroughly combined, being careful not to let it split.
