INCREDIBLY ADDICTIVE CRAB PIE

by Utokia Langley

The first time I had this crab pie, I was speechless, in fact all I could do is moan and savor the experience until all my crab pie was gone!  It’s a toe curling euphoric moment waiting to happen!  I hope you enjoy this crab pie as much as I did!

Hello My Name is Incredibly Addictive Crab Pie!

Oweey Gooeey Crab Goodness!

INCREDIBLY ADDICTIVE CRAB PIE

INGREDIENT:

1 can of 16 oz. lump crab meat
8oz. cream cheese (room temp.)
8 oz. mascarpone cheese (room temp.)
2 beaten eggs
¾ cup of chopped green onions
2 tbsp hot sauce (I use Franks)
2-4 tbsp She’s Got Flavor All Purpose Seasoning
Nutmeg (to taste – but don’t go heavy, nutmeg is strong)
Box of Pillsbury 9 inch rolled pie crust
Butter to butter the pie dish
Flour to dust the pie dish

READY, SET GO:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a large bowl fold together all ingredients except the butter and flour (notice I said fold not whisk or mix, you want to fold just enough to incorporate all ingredients)
  3. Butter a round pie baking dish and dust lightly with flour
  4. Gently roll out one of the rolled Pillsbury pie crust and lay in the pie dish
  5. Gently pour crab mixture into the middle of pie dish and gently smooth until evenly distributed in pie dish
  6. Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes
  7. Turn oven off but do not remove crab pie, allow to stay in the oven with the oven off for another 10 minutes (this will allow the pie to set)
  8. Remove from oven and allow to COMPLETELY cool, do not cut into the pie while it is hot
  9. After pie is COMPLETELY cooled then you may cut and serve, MOST IMPORTANTLY ~ ENJOY!

Tip:  Double ingredients to make more

Tip:  This crab pie is even better after being in the refrigerator (just re-heat in microwave (1-2 minutes) or 350 degree oven (5-10 minutes) – so YUMMY)

question Utokia, I love crab…would it be ok to double the amount of crab meat for this dish? btw…tried your citrus salad but I used salmon instead. loved it! thanks

Hello Al … Yes, you can add more crab meat but be careful not to put so much that it far exceeds your cheeses, if you want to add a little more that should be fine BUT if you are adding lots more I would also add more cream cheese so you do not miss out on the creamy part of this dish ~ … thanks for visiting, come back often

Hello Jana … sorry no print button yet … maybe in the future … for now just highlight and hit your print button (be sure to only print your “selected” text)

Do you need to soften the cream cheese or just make it chunky and it melts when cooked?

Reply
utokia March 23, 2012 - 12:02 pm

Hello Becky, welcome to She’s Got Flavor … good question … the cream cheese and the mascarpone cheese should be room temp.; I will change that in the directions, thank you… Please check out our other recipes…

Hi,
The crab pie looks great. Do you have the exact measurements that you use for all of the spices (you mention “to taste”). I know it’s individual but I don’t want to ruin the dish:)
Thanks so much!
Rashida

Hi Rashida, I really don’t like to measure spices because it really depends on your taste and health but a good measure is to start low like maybe 1-2 tsp. per spice but taste taste taste as you go.

Hi Utokia,

Would like to make this recipe, I actually attempted but when I realized the cost of each can of crab meat I was floored!! Am I looking at the wrong product? I can’t remember what brand it was but what I brought (2 cans) was only half if not less than what the recipe called for. They were $10 a can. Please advise and thank you very much for being open to share your amazing cooking skills.

Utokia January 2, 2013 - 9:27 pm

Hi Ebony, you only need 1 16 oz can/container of lump crab meat. Not sure about prices where you live but you can get a 16 oz can/container of lump crab for $12-$16 in Washington, DC Metro Area depending on if you catch a sale. This is an expensive pie and I only make it on special occasions, when I catch a sale or when I crave it. However, I will tell you, it is melt in your mouth.

Costco has the most reasonable price on lump crab in a can that I have found.

You think it would be a good party idea to make little empanada style treats with the filling of this pie.. almost like hand pies still using the pie crust?

Hi Tittany, that would be a great idea!! Thank you for sharing

Hi there , this looks so yummy and with me being from Maryland I have an appreciation for crab I did see another recipe that used Swiss cheese instead what do you think about that?I do a Christmas open house every year and I make oyster stew , steamed shrimp the Maryland way and I usually make Maryland style crab cakes but I wanted to try crab meat pie this yearI don’t think I’ve ever used the kind of cheese that you were speaking of in your recipe that’s why I was asking about the Swiss let me know what your thoughts are thank you so much

Reply
utokia December 29, 2014 - 7:34 pm

Swiss is much stronger than the cheeses I use so its really up to your taste buds.

So I am a little late to the party, but wanted to say that this pie is delish!! I bought a lb. Of fresh lump crab that I caught on sale and was looking for something beyond the typical crab cake. This hit the mark. I was worried that the cheeses might overwhelm the sweet subtle flavor of the crab, but they really just enhanced it. Excellent recipe. Thanks for the post, this one is a keeper!!

Looks delicious, and I happen to have a can of lump crab on hand and ready to go! One question… I need to stay lower carb, so do you think it’s possible to omit the crust entirely?

Reply
utokia December 16, 2015 - 12:10 pm

sure Ann you can still bake it and turn it into a crab dip

Mia July 12, 2016 - 5:28 pm

Thank you Mia, I know how you feel whenever I make this everyone tears it up. I normally make two at a time.
