Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, combine and toss cheese, nutmeg, lemon zest and flour.

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté onions
until translucent and tender. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine crab, the cheese mixture, the onions,
mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and

This simple yet elegant recipe is a must-serve for special or
festive events. I’ve been told by several event hosts, and I quote,
“Should something arise that would prevent my attendance,
please call and we will send a car to pick up the au gratin.” This
makes a perfect entrée, appetizer or side dish. Try it, and you’ll
call and thank me.
