Ingredients
- 1 9 inch pastry shell
- 2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup whole milk 180 ml
- 3/4 cup heavy cream 180 ml
- 2 tbsp dry Sherry 30 ml
- 1 cup crab meat 250 ml, can, cooked fresh
- 2 tbsp chives 30 ml chop, fresh
- 1 grate nutmeg
- cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions
- Line the pie shell with aluminum foil and fill it with metallic pie weights or dried beans or rice.
- Bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the weights and foil and bake until light golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
- Meanwhile whisk together the eggs, yolks, milk, cream, sherry, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cayenne.
- Toss the crab meat with the chopped chives and spread evenly over the bottom of the hot pie crust.

- The center should be slightly liquid but will firm up as it cools.
