• 1 cup whole milk
• 8-ounce shredded Swiss cheese

PREPARATION

STEP 1

Preheat the 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, and sprinkle with additional Old Bay Seasoning.

Bake at 350ºF for 50 minutes or until the knife comes out clean. (Check at about 40 minutes to avoid burning, since ovens vary.)
