​​Directions​

NOTES: Makes 2 FULL pies. Bake at 325* for 45-50 mins (your oven may vary so it may take longer).

Have ready 2 pie crusts from the store. Put the 2 prepared pie crusts on a cookie sheet to help you get them in and out the oven without making a mess. In the bowl with the beaten eggs, add the cream, swiss cheese, onion, thyme, parsley and spices, mixing until well blended. Have ready 2 pie crusts from the store. Put the 2 prepared pie crusts on a cookie sheet to help you get it in and out the oven without making a mess and being sad cuz your pie is ruined.

Saute chopped onion (if using) in a little olive oil just to soften. Set aside. Add to your beaten eggs in your big bowl the cream, swiss cheese, onion, thyme, parsley, spices and mix until well blended. Fold in crab meat last and be gentle so you don’t bust up all the lumps. Pour ½ of mix into each pie crust and sprinkle with a little old bay so it looks pretty. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Freezes beautifully, just wrap in plastic wrap or foil and slip into a one gallon freezer bag. So eat one and freeze one to enjoy later.

It doesn’t get any easier. It doesn’t get any tastier.
