Original Recipe Yield 24 pistolettes
 

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk, or as needed
  • 2 pounds processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cubed
  • 3/4 pound cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
  • 24 brown and serve pistolette rolls
  •  
  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the evaporated milk, cheese, and crawfish tails. Cook and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes more. Use the end of a spoon to poke a hole into each pistolette roll. Fill each roll with about 1 tablespoon of the crawfish filling.
  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Fry the rolls a few at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot.
