New Orleans Crawfish Bread
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large heavy skillet, melt the butter and heat it until it bubbles.
- Then lower the heat and add the chopped onions, bell pepper, and celery.
- Saute the mixture until the veggies turn limp, but do not let them brown (figure that it should take about three minutes).
- Next add the wine to the seasoning base and bring it to a boil.
- Then, after about a minute, pour in the clam juice and add to it the prepared roux, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic.
- At this point, return the mixture to a boil once again but immediately lower the heat and simmer everything together for about five minutes more or until thickened.
- Now add the crawfish tails, diced tomatoes, cream of shrimp soup, parsley, green onions, seafood seasoning, and salt (if needed).
- When everything is thoroughly combined, simmer the skillet for about 8 to 10 minutes or until you can pick up the sauce with a fork.
- All that's left to do is to slice the loaves of bread lengthwise and sprinkle each half with a thin but complete layer of cheese.
- Then place the bread onto a sheet pan and slide it under a hot broiler or toaster oven until the cheese fully melts.
- Finally, take the bread halves out of the oven, generously spoon the crawfish sauce down the center of each loaf, then top them liberally with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
- Return the Crawfish Bread to the oven one more time, but only until the sauce begins to bubble.
- Then slice the"breads" into appropriate individual portions and serve the pieces piping hot.
