Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 small shallot, chopped
2 cups frozen fire-roasted corn, thawed
1 red jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons sherry or dry white wine
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces lump crabmeat, picked through
1 1/2 cups grated monterey jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup crushed butter crackers (such as Ritz; about 20 crackers)
1/4 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the corn and jalapeno; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the sherry and cook, stirring, until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the corn mixture to a large bowl and add the crabmeat. Stir in the monterey jack, sour cream and 1/2 cup crushed crackers. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup crushed crackers with the cheddar, chives and Old Bay in a medium bowl. Work the remaining 1 tablespoon butter into the crumb mixture with your fingers until combined. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the crab mixture. Bake until golden brown and heated through, about 20 minutes.
- Serve with butter crackers or sliced baguette.
