This dish really captures the flavor of New Orleans. The sauted trinity of celery, peppers and onion complement the crab perfectly.

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 11 X 17 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, mix beaten eggs, half and half, crab meat, torn croissants and cheese then set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium high heat, melt butter and saute celery, red pepper and onion until softened, 8-10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir into egg mixture until well blended. Transfer to prepared pan and bake 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set in center.
