Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease four (6 ounce) ramekins with butter; place on a baking sheet pan and set aside.
  2. Place crab, egg yolks, milk, salt, pepper, cayenne, tarragon, cream cheese, and Asiago cheese in a medium bowl; stir to combine.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
  4. Place crab mixture into egg whites and fold together gently with a rubber spatula until just barely combined. Spoon into ramekins about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake ramekins for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown on top and poufy in the center.
