Deviled Crab

When the crabs are boiled, take out the meat and cut it into small pieces; clean well the shells. To six ounces of crab meat mix two ounces of bread crumbs, two hard-boiled eggs chopped, the juice of half a lemon, cayenne pepper and salt. Mix all with cream or cream sauce, or, what is still better, a Bechamel sauce. Fill the shells with the mixture, smooth the tops, sprinkle over sifted bread crumbs, and color in a quick oven.
