• 1 teaspoon butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch pie pan lightly with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Press the pre-made pie crust into the pie pan, trimming any excess dough hanging over the edges.

Spread the lump crab meat evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese, green onions, and parsley over the crab meat.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture gently over the crab and cheese filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is a light golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Breakfast Crab Pie!
