Mini Crawfish Pies

These Mini Crawfish Pies are not just adorable; they’re bursting with deliciousness! Perfectly flaky and filled with a flavorful mixture of crawfish and spices, these little bites are bound to become a favorite.

Ingredients:

1 pound crawfish tails, peeled and deveined
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 package of frozen pie crusts (or homemade if you prefer)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the onion, green bell pepper, celery, and garlic until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the crawfish tails to the skillet and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Roll out your pie crusts and use a round cutter to cut circles that will fit in your muffin tin or pie dish. Press the dough into the bottoms of the cups.
Spoon your crawfish filling into each dough cup, filling them generously but leaving space at the top for the crust.
Top with another round of pie crust, sealing the edges and making a small slit in the top for steam to escape.
Using a brush, apply the beaten egg over the tops for a golden finish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Mini Crawfish Pies!
