Crawfish Pie

Here’s a beautiful look at what you’ll be creating:

Ingredients

For the crawfish pie filling, you will need the following ingredients:

1 pound crawfish tail meat, cooked and drained
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 green onions, chopped
1 cup cream or half-and-half
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pre-made pie crust
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a mouthwatering crawfish pie:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add the crawfish tail meat, green onions, cream, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until well combined and heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat, and let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it into the prepared pie crust.
Cover the filling with the top layer of the pie crust. Seal the edges by crimping them with a fork and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

This crawfish pie is best served warm and pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and the satisfaction of creating this comforting dish at home!
