Blue Crab Pie Recipes

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.)

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Combine the butter and flour in a skillet over medium heat.
• Stir for 3 to 4 minutes, or until well blended.
• Add the onions, celery, salt, and cayenne.
• Cook, stirring for 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly soft.
• Add the milk.
• Stir for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Add the crabmeat, parsley, and green onions.
• Stir and cook for about 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat.
• Pour the mixture into a 9-inch glass pie dish or 6 small ramekins.
• Combine the bread crumbs and the rub.
• Sprinkle over the top of the crabmeat mixture.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the bread crumbs.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and brown.
• Remove from the oven and let stand for 2 minutes before serving.
