Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece prepared pie crust
- 1.5 cups lump crab meat
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming excess dough. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped green onions, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs until fully combined.
Stir in the sautéed garlic and green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is lightly golden. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the crab pie from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious Crab Pie!
