1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
3 cups cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

Break egg into mixing bowl; beat slightly. Add 1/3 cup mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside.

Flake crabmeat, removing membranes. Fold into mayonnaise mixture together with green pepper and pimiento. Portion mixture into 6 greased shells or individual casseroles.
