👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
💡 전문가 팁: Using individual ramekins can make for a more elegant presentation.
2
In a bowl, soak the bread slices in milk until softened. Mash with a fork to form a paste.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the bread is fully saturated for a smooth texture.
3
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add minced garlic, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Add the shredded crab meat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
6
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer and reduce for about 3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
7
Stir in the mashed bread mixture, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer the crab mixture to the prepared baking dish or ramekins.
