Mini Crawfish Pies by This Teacher’s Life ### Ingredients

1 pound crawfish tails, cooked and peeled
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 package of pie crusts (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for frying (if frying)

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic, sautéing until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the crawfish tails, diced tomatoes, Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and green onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you prefer frying, heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut into circles, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a tablespoon of the crawfish mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the crust over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
For baking: Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
For frying: Carefully drop the filled pies into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
Let them cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your mini crawfish pies warm!

These mini crawfish pies are sure to be a hit whether you serve them at a party or enjoy them as a special snack. They’re easy to make and bursting with flavor, perfect for any occasion!
