Crab Imperial

Makes 8 servings

ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/4 c. finely chopped green pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
2 cups cooked fresh, thawed frozen, or drained, canned crab meat
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
4 medium size avocados
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 cup soft bread crumbs
2 Tbsp melted butter or margarine

directions

Combine mayo or salad dressing, green pepper, onion, mustard, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix in crab meat and eggs. Cut avocados in half; remove seed. Cut a thin slice off bottom of each so avocado will stand. Brush cut surfaces with 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Mound crab meat mixture on avocado halves. Combine bread crumbs and melted butter, then sprinkle over crab meat. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until crumbs are lightly browned. Serve at once.
