Crab imperial baked in a Ramekin just got UPGRADED. Feel free to omit the cheese if you choose or experiment with different types of cheese. I have used mozzarella, provolone, Swiss, Fontina and Asiago. All with good results, but i initially added to keep the mushroom moisture from entering the Imperial
