Crab Meat Pie
I found this recipe on the internet. This can be made with canned crab, fresh cooked and picked crab, or imitation crab. I made this on 25 Aug 2021 and used imitation crab. Excellent flavor, highly recommended.
Equipment
- Oven
- Pie Dish (9 inch)
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 226 grams crab meat, canned - drained, or fresh cooked, or imitation - chopped, (8 oz)
- 1 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons onion, grated
- 2 tablespoons green bell pepper, diced
- ⅔ cup mushrooms, sliced, fresh sautéed or canned (4 oz / 113 g can, drained)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup mayo
- ½ cup dry bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Get out a 9 inch pie dish and place pie shell in the dish, flute the edge as desired.
- In a mixing bowl, add the crab meat, celery, onion, bell pepper, eggs, mayo, salt, lemon juice, ½ the mushrooms, and all but 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs.
- Mix lightly together.
- Pour into the prepared pie dish and spread out evenly.
- Add remaining mushrooms to top.
- Sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and the Cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or firm and browned.
- Slice and serve with sides of your choice. Enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving if using imitation crab, fresh - picked, would depend on where you source the crabs from.
