Crab Imperial

1 lb crab meat (preferably blackfin)
1 Tbsp margarine or butter
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp instant minced onion
1-1/2 tsp Worchestershire sauce
2 slices white bread, crusts removed and cubed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp margarine or butter
few dashes of pepper
paprika, for sprinkling

Remove all cartilage from crab meat. In medium-size pan,
melt 1 Tbsp margarine; mix in flour. Slowly add milk, stirring
constantly to keep mixture smooth and free from lumps.
Cook, stirring, over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil
and thickens. Mix in onion, Worcestershire Sauce, and
bread cubes. Cool. Fold in mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt,
and pepper. In another pan, heat 2 Tbsp butter or
margarine until lightly browned. Add crab meat and toss
lightly. Combine with sauce mixture. Put mixture into
individual shells or ramekins (or greased 1 quart casserole).
Sprinkle paprika over top. Bake at 450 degrees until hot
and bubbly and lightly browned on top - about 10-15
minutes.
Makes four servings.
