Preparation

In skillet, sauté green onions in butter. Stir in crabmeat and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Add lemon juice to taste. Add cayenne pepper and season to taste. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (250 mL) Canadian Mozzarella cheese.

Remove from oven, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and grated nutmeg. Return to oven, uncovered, for 2 more minutes until cheese has turned golden and serve.

For a twist, try adding a half-cup of finely chopped, cooked spinach to the white sauce.
