Maryland Crab Cake Pie
Ingredients:
1/2 pound lump crabmeat (or you can use imitation crab meat)
2 eggs
1 small clove of minced garlic
1 tbsp. of flour
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 cup of heavy cream or milk
4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese
4 ounces of shredded Swiss cheese or pepper jack cheese
1 1/2 tbsp. of minced onion
1 1/2 tbsp. bell pepper (chopped)
Just a pinch of salt because the cheese has salt in it
¼ tsp. Old Bay Seafood Seasoning
1 9 inch frozen deep-dish frozen piecrust
Bread Crumb Topping:
1/3 Cup fresh chopped breadcrumbs (crusty Italian bread)
1 tsp. salted butter
1 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
Garlic Lemon Cream Sauce:
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup of sour cream
2 or 3 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1 clove of fresh minced garlic
1 tbsp. fresh chopped parsley
Mix all the ingredients together and garnish with some lemon zest and more parsley
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350° and poke your pie crust with a fork all along the center to ensure a crispy bottom. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and set aside to cool completely.
2. Then in a small skillet, sauté the onion, garlic and peppers with 1 tsp. of butter for one minute over a medium high heat and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl add the cream, mayonnaise and eggs. Whisk to combine taking out any lumps from the mayonnaise. Then add pepper, onion garlic mixture, crabmeat, salt, pepper and old bay seasoning. Fold the mixture together.
4. In a medium sized bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese with the flour (so the cheese doesn’t stick together) make sure it is well combined then pour it into the crabmeat mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into the cooled piecrust and bake on a cookie sheet for 45 to 50 minutes. Test with a toothpick to ensure it’s cooked all the way through. Let cool for 15 to 20 minutes.
6. In a small skillet, melt the butter, breadcrumbs and parsley. Stir until the butter absorbs into the breadcrumbs and gets toasty ( less than a minute)
7. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the pie. Serve each slice with a dollop of the garlic lemon cream sauce.
Happy Father’s Day to all!
Enjoy!
Note* you can also squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the top of the pie as well for extra flavor!!

How to Make ANY Quiche! (No Recipe Required)
Today we’re going to make quiche. There are many different types of quiche, the most famous being Quiche Lorraine, but by the end of this video you won’t be limited to just one flavor combination… think chard/white bean/parm, chicken/pesto/thyme, or even something like kimchi/kalbi! The opps are endless, people.
There’s a time and place for an exact recipe, but like the great... I'm spacing on the dude's name... said, to know one recipe means that you know one recipe, but if you know 1 technique you know 1,000 recipes... or something fairly similar to that. We’ll start with the French shortbread pastry crust, otherwise known as pâte brisée (“pat-bree-zee,”) then move onto the formula for the egg base and from there the world is yours. Quiche however you dang tootin’ well please. More below… Good Quiching! ????????Adam
