Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix first 6 ingredients (cream cheese - lemon pepper seasoning salt) with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add the crabmeat and mix.
Step 2
Pour into pastry shell that has been pre-baked (blind baked. Directions, below).
Step 3
Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Blind Baking Directions
Step 4
Place 1 piece of pre-made pie dough down into a (8-9 inch) pie pan and press down along the bottom and all sides. Pinch and crimp the edges together to make a pretty pattern, if desired. Place the pie shell back into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up. Fit a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper to cover the inside of the shell completely. Fill the shell up to the very edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven (I always use dry beans that I've had for years for this purpose). Bake for 10-15 minutes, lift out the foil or parchment paper along with the pie weights and bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust is dried out and beginning to color.
