Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. jumbo lump lump crabmeat
- 2 large eggs divided
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Seafood Seasoning like Old Bay
- 1/2 cup fresh Italian style breadcrumbs
- 1-1/2 cups prepared mac and cheese
- 2 packages Pillsbury™ Refrigerated Pie Crusts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To make the crab cake filling, in a medium bowl, combine the crab, 1 egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, seafood seasoning. Then add the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
- Stir in the prepared mac and cheese
- Then roll out each refrigerated pie crust dough and using a cutter or a medium bowl, cut circles in the pie crust.
- Place a scoop of filling in the middle of the circle of the dough. Roll half of the dough over to get a fat crescent moon shape. Then with your fork, press your fork into the edges of the empanadas so you see the indentations of the fork along the edges.
- In a small bowl beat the remaining egg with a fork. Brush the empanadas with an egg wash to make them golden brown.
- Bake them for 20 minutes.
