Ignore the Reuben Sandwich in the background, this is my plate.
But my wife who observes the Lenten Season by returning to her Catholic roots and has decided to abstain from eating meat on Friday. This is what I made for her to enjoy on her day of sacrifice.
I LOVE These as a side dish or as a small lunch main course. Just enough crabmeat for a massive flavor, yet spread out enough that this meal comes in at $2.00 a serving. But of course... Add a Reuben Sandwich and you have quite a FAST EASY DELICIOUS MEAL! And BTW, the Hollandaise is just as easy, made in a blender!
See the technique below, you'll be in HEAVEN Too!
