Ingredients

1 pound backfin or lump crabmeat

8 full, thin slices of peppered or honey baked deli ham

3 green onions, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

3 pieces of bread

2 tablespoons mayo

1 teaspoon mustard

1 egg

Milk

Shredded white cheddar cheese

Parsley

Old Bay Seasoning

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a small pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter and saute green onions and green pepper until soft.

In a large bowl, saturate the pieces of bread with milk until just absorbed. Combine in the bowl the sauteed green onions and green pepper, crabmeat, mayo, mustard, egg, and parsley and Old Bay Seasoning to taste.

Scoop crab imperial into the center of a piece of deli ham, and roll. The recipe usually makes enough crab imperial for 7-8 deli ham slices.

Spray a glass baking pan with Pam and line with crab rolls.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Add shredded white cheddar cheese (or white American cheese) to top of ham rolls and bake for another 3-5 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Serve with twice baked potatoes and a vegetable.
