  2. Add the onion and celery to the mixture and cook on low-medium heat until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Add the evaporated milk, egg yolk, cheese, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper, and stir continuously until the cheese has melted.
  4. Gently stir in the crab meat and cook on low heat for 5 minutes to heat through. Turn on broiler to High.
  5. Scoop the mixture into a small oven-safe baking dish and top with reserved Swiss cheese, green onion and paprika.

NOTES
Tip: You can make this ahead of time and put it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve. Cover it with aluminum foil and bake it at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes before topping it with the extra cheese and popping it under the broiler. Just make sure it’s heated through before serving!
