Directions

Preheat the oven th.6 (180°C)
Add some butter or cooking spray in a cake mold.
Put the mold in the fridge.
Drain the canned crab.

In a large bowl, break the eggs and beat them.
Dilute the corn starch into the cold milk.
Add the previous mixture to the beaten eggs.
Pour salt and pepper.
Add the 250g thick cream, the crab and its imitation.
Put the mixture into the mold.

Put the mold in a hot-water bath into the oven for 45 minutes.
