This recipe came from a neighborhood cookbook in Baltimore. Although not a big
fan of flounder, I do like this recipe.
Preparation Time: 45 minutes Serving Size: 6
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup celery, minced
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup shallots, minced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
|
- 1/2 cup milk, warmed
- 1/2 dry white wine, room temperature
- 8 ounces crab meat
- 1 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 flounder fillets
|
| Heat butter in large
sauté pan over medium heat. Add celery, onion, green pepper and shallots and
sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and parsley and stir 1
more minute. Add flour and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add
milk and wine. Cook over medium heat until thick. Remove from heat and stir
in crab meat, bread crumbs and salt and pepper. Allow to cool slightly
before stuffing flounder. Place each fillet in a baking dish and divide
stuffing among fillets. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°. Prepare Mornay sauce. |

Mornay Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups milk, warmed
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
|
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 Swiss cheese, grated
|
|
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan and stir in flour. Stir
constantly 2 minutes but do not color the roux more than a buttery yellow.
Remove from heat and add milk, cream, salt and pepper and egg yolks. Place
back over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly until thickened, about
5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 3 minutes. When
slightly cooled, slowly stir in Swiss cheese, mixing constantly to melt the
cheese. Serve over stuffed flounder on individual plates. |
