Crab Pie

By TrayH

Crab Pie is a rich, savory, almost quiche-like pie that is very satisfying. With one bite you will say “wow”. This is a “stellar” appetizer or even entrée to take to your next family gathering that will just blow away any dip that you used to bring.

Preparation

Step 1

* Pre-heat oven to 350º – par bake your crust for 3 minutes. We used Pillsbury pie dough and it worked out great. We did spray the pie pans with Pam spray to keep the crust from sticking.

* Sautee onion and celery. Let cool.

* Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in eggs, flour, mayonnaise and milk, mix well. Add remainder of the ingredients - EXCEPT crab meat - and mix well.

* Gently fold in crab meat and try not to separate the lumps of crab meat too much. Pour into 2 separate pie crusts, sprinkle with additional Old Bay Seasoning.

* Bake at 350º for 1 hour or until knife comes out clean. (Check at about 50 minutes to avoid burning, since ovens vary)
