Crab Pie
Yesterday I showed you how to make a pie crust and this Crab Pie is what I used that pie crust for. This two cheese Crab Pie reminds me of a quiche but with less egg. It is baked in a 9” deep pie plate and with all that crab goodness it disappears fast.
I live up north in the US and the 8 oz of crab cost me $9.00. For those of you that live near the ocean, I’m sure you can buy it cheaper. Regardless, I love crab and it was worth every penny! It holds together very well and would make a great party dish. It can be cut into 6-8 servings!
I adapted this recipe from The Maryland Store recipe.
Ingredients
Bake the pie crust for 5 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.
This is what it looks like when it comes out of the oven.
Let the pie crust cool.
In a large bowl combine the eggs, flour, mayonnaise
and Half-n-Half with a whisk.
Add all the rest of the ingredients and stir well with a spoon.
Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes
or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Ovens vary so watch carefully so it doesn’t dry out.
Mine was done in 40 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes then slice like a pie and serve.

Bookmarked this one for my mom.
Awesome I hope she likes it! If you already have your pie crust made it is so simple!
My Canadian friend loves crab. I will have to remember this one for her next visit. That’s if if I can find reasonably priced crab.
I know it’s crazy how expensive it is!
Excellent dish

Diane, do you know if I can use canned crab? Would it be the same?
Yes it would work the same, however, in the past I found a lot of shells in it and stopped using it because of the shells.
Oh girl this recipe has me salivating. This is right up my alley! 😀
LOL great hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Thanks Kim!
