Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium size bowl mix the eggs, mayonnaise, flour, and milk until completely smooth. Add the crab, cheese, and onion. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Baking time dictates whether the custard sets into a velvety texture or overcooks into a spongy mass. Pulling the pie from the oven at the exact moment the center loses its liquid jiggle prevents the seafood from toughening inside the hot shell.
Proper resting allows the dairy and eggs to finish setting without continuing to cook from residual heat. Slices hold their shape far better when given twenty minutes to cool on the counter prior to serving.
