How to Make Crab Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes, or until a roux forms.
- Add onions and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in salt and cayenne pepper.
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in crabmeat, parsley, and green onions.
- Pour the crab mixture into a 9-inch glass pie dish or 6 small ramekins.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and Old Bay seasoning.
- Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the crabmeat filling.
- Top with shredded Gruyere cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
