    This recipe got rave reviews from three "analytical" adults (one male). It was fabulous! No adjustments need be made; the flavors of the crab and cheese were well blended and light yet obvious, and the baking time resulted in a perfectly cooked, and beautifud looking, souffle. BUT, it would not serve 6 people. Served with a bib salad it only served 2.5 adults.
