Before combining canned crab with other ingredients, first pick through the drained crab with your fingers to remove any pieces of cartilage.

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cans (6 oz. each) crab meat, drained and cartilage removed
• 1/3 cup chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)

In a bowl, beat eggs; add mayonnaise, flour and milk.  Stir in crab, onions, parsley and cheese.  Spoon into pie shell.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.  Yield:  6-8 servings.
