Directions
Preheat oven to 400'F (205'C.).
In a bowl, combine flour, salt and chili seasoning.
Cut in margarine and lard until mixture resembles bread crumbs.
Add cheese and mix well.
Stir in cold water and mix to form a fairly firm dough.
Knead gently on a floured surface and roll out pastry.
Set a 10" flouted flan pan with a removable bottom on a baking sheet.
Press pastry into flutes and trim edge neatly.
Prick base with a fork.
Line pastry with waxed paper and fill with dried beans.
Bake 15 minutes.
Remove waxed paper and beans and bake 5 to 10 minutes more or until dry and lightly golden.
Fry bacon 3 minutes.
Add onion; cook 2 minutes.
Remove from heat; mix with crabmeat.
Spoon mixture into flan shell.
Whisk eggs, half-and-half, mustard, cayenne and salt.
Pour into flan shell.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
Garnish with tomato and parsley, if desired, and serve warm or cold.
