CRAB PIE RECIPE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF 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. Combine eggs, flour, mayonnaise and milk, mix well. Add cheese, 1 teaspoon Old Bay, onion and pepper and mix well. 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 350ºF for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. (Check at about 40 minutes to avoid burning, since ovens vary.)

Turn into unbaked pie shell, sprinkle with reserved crumbs and Cheddar cheese. Bake 25 minutes in a 350°F oven, or until firm and brown. Should be golden brown and fluffy.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of white and dark crab meat.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the pie, such as corn, peas, or carrots.
- If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking dish. Just be sure to preheat it before adding the filling.
- Serve the pie hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or salad.
