Steps:
- Prepare the crust, if using frozen, thaw completely on counter before filling.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat the eggs, stir in the shredded cheese, half-n-half, Old Bay seasoning, and shredded crab meat.
- Old Bay Seasoning contains both salt and pepper so you may not need to add additional salt or pepper. I don't.
- Pour into unbaked pie shell.
- Place on center oven rack for 35 minutes. Cover just the edges of crust with foil if they are browning too quickly.
- Check center of quiche, if jiggly, bake 10 more minutes or until center is done to your preference.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, serve hot with tomato slices or salad.
CHEDDAR CRAB QUICHE
For a completely vegetarian quiche, leave the crab out. I used this recipe for a friend that was having some problems with finding a lower fat recipe, using reduced fat cheese and liquid egg substitute. Obviously we can add the fat back in if you like!
