Ingredients
• Butter and flour for soufflé mold
• 5 tablespoons butter, divided
• 3/4 cup minced Vidalia onion
• 1 cup lump crabmeat
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• Salt and white pepper
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
• 4 egg yolks
• 5 egg whites
• 1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese


Instructions

Melt remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons flour and cook over medium heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

In glass measuring cup, heat milk for 2 minutes in a microwave. Pour hot milk into flour mixture and stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon white pepper, cayenne and nutmeg. Return to heat and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in crab mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
