How to make it
- If you are making the pastry yourself, mix the flour and salt together. Add the butter cut in small cubes and rub it in the mixture to resemble fine bread crumbs. Gradually stir in the butter to create a firm dough. Roll and cut with a glass round shapes. Put them at the bottom of muffin forms.
- Preheat oven at 375F.

- Whisk the eggs. Add gradually the milk. Add the crabmeat, grated cheese, onion mixture and the rest of the ingredients while you keep on whisking. Fill the pastry with about 2 fullspoons of the egg/crab mixture.
