1 small leek (about 5 oz.), finely chopped
4 ounces baby spinach, chopped (about 3 cups)
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream

CRAB PIE RECIPE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Crab Pie Recipe Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-46109

Number Of Ingredients 12

2- 9 ″ deep pie crusts (baked 3 minutes and cooled)
1 pound lump crab meat
4 eggs
2 tablespoon flour
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup whole milk
8 ounce shredded Swiss cheese
8 ounce shredded Cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped green pepper
(Note: You can use backfin, it is fine. Lump is the most expensive and not necessary.)

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.)

PASTEL DE JAIBA (CHILEAN BLUE CRAB PIE)



Pastel De Jaiba (Chilean Blue Crab Pie) image

I found this one in a little South America cookbook from the UK (hence the metric measurements). This is very popular along the coastline of Chile. Posted for ZWT. The original recipe calls for whole crabs to be used because the dish can be served in the crab shells. If you prefer to use ramekins instead, cooked crabmeat can be used in place of whole crabs.

Categories     Crab

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

400 ml heavy cream
200 g white bread, crust removed (preferably a sturdy bakery bread that will retain a bit of texture once soaked)
800 g whole blue crabs, cooked
80 g butter
100 g gouda cheese, grated (smoked Gouda would be good here)
50 g parmesan cheese, grated (fresh, not the sprinkle kind in the canister)
2 medium onions, chopped
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
chives, finely chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak the bread in the cream. While bread is soaking, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot but not smoking, saute the chopped onions until they turn golden, stirring regularly to avoid burning (about 8 minutes).
  • Add crab meat, butter and soaked bread along with any additional cream to the pan and reduce the heat to low. Stir almost constantly, until sauce thickens (approximately 5 minutes). Add the Gouda cheese and cook for about 10 more minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • For serving, this may be scooped back into the (cleaned) crab shells, or you can scoop it into four individual oven-safe ramekins. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over each serving, then broil until cheese melts and turns golden brown. Sprinkle the top of each serving with a pinch of chopped chives and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh crab meat. Frozen crab meat can be used, but it should be thawed and drained thoroughly before using.
  • If you don't have any crab boil seasoning, you can make your own by combining Old Bay seasoning, celery salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Be careful not to overcook the crab meat. It should be cooked just until it is opaque and flakes easily.
  • If you don't have any Ritz crackers, you can use crushed saltine crackers or bread crumbs.
  • Serve the crab pie hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or green beans.

Conclusion:

Glenda's Crab Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover crab meat, and it can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and generous helping of crab meat, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
