Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
2 tbl unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced yellow onions
1/4 cup minced green bell peppers
1/4 cup minced red bell peppers
1/4 cup minced celery
1 tbl plus 2 tsp Creole Seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbl plus 1 tsp minced garlic
1 lb lump crab meat, picked over for shells and cartilage
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp Tabasco
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 x eggs, lightly beaten, in separate cups
2 tbl breadcrumbs
Basic pie dough, divided into 12 equal balls, and chilled (enough to make 2 9 inch crusts)
Instructions:
Instructions: Melt butter in medium skillet over high heat. When butter sizzles, add onions, green and red peppers, celery, Creole seasoning and salt; saute, shaking skillet and stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add garlic and crab meat and cook, stirring occasionally and shaking skillet, 2 minutes.

Stir in green onions, Worcestershire and Tabasco; cook 2 minutes. Whisk in cream.

Stir in 1 of the eggs slowly, a little at a time (if added too quickly, it will scramble). (Egg forms a natural thickening or "liaison".)

Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs.

Makes 3 cups.

Preheat oven to 375. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured surface into 12 thin circles of dough. Trim edges of each circle to form a square, about 5 by 5 inches. Brush edges of each dough square with remaining egg. Place about 1/4 cup of crabmeat mixture on each square and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Crimp edges with a fork and place pies on baking sheet.

Brush top of each pie with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil. Bake until crusty brown, about 25 minutes. To serve, wrap pies in paper towels or paper napkins.
