I found this recipe in an old thread, and finally cooked it last weekend. It was fantastic! This deserves it's own thread (props to Cajunate for the original recipe). The only things I did different were:
- Add 1/2 or whole lemon juice
- Mixed half the cheese in with everything, and put the rest on top after I spread the mix on the bread.

Original Thread





MAKES 8 SERVINGS
Courtesy of Madeline Kessler
Printed in October 2012
¦1/2 cup mayonnaise
¦1/4 cup butter, melted
|1/2 or whole lemon juice (to taste)
¦8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
¦1/4 cup sliced green onion tops
¦1 teaspoon garlic powder
¦1 cup Louisiana crawfish tails, finely chopped
¦Salt
¦Ground black pepper
¦1 (16-ounce) loaf French bread, halved lengthwise

Preheat oven to 350º. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, butter, 1/2 of the mozzarella, green onion, and garlic powder. Fold in chopped crawfish, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread crawfish mixture on French bread and top with rest of cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly toasted. Cut in 2-inch pieces, and serve immediately.
Cook’s Note: Bread can be spread with crawfish mixture and refrigerated before baking.

Lots of folks love crawfish bread. Did you finely chop the crawfish? They don't look small to me in your pics and I don't think I would chop finely. Possibly a few coarse chops if some of the tails are really large.

I think the flavor of the crabmeat might be overpowered. Maybe claw meat would work, but I don't think I'd enjoy it with crabmeat. Shrimp would work. I've had a pretty good shrimp bread, but it wasn't as heavy on the cheese as this recipe.

I think that's the way to go so get more of the crawfish flavor with all the other ingredients. I might consider a drop of crab boil in the mayo mixture.

You see who ran him off in this thread.

LINK

I think he may have taken offense with some posters before though. Nate was a peaceful being and didn't care for some of the ugly criticism and infighting here on occasion. I think he moved over to Mr. Lake's forum for a while. I haven't looked at that site in a very long time, so I don't know if he's still there.
He's got his own website/blog.

LINK

I bet the recipe in the linked thread is there.

I wish he'd come back.

He was well liked on the other site I frequent. People were asking about him there.

I do mine by rolling out French bread dough, adding etouffee and pepper jack cheese, pinching shut and baking. Little different but soooooooo good!

I think the guy from Avoyelles Parish who makes it for Jazz Fest uses the dough and makes it that way.
