EASY SHRIMP AND CRAB QUICHE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Unroll the crust into a 9 inch pie plate. Cover the pie crust with parchment paper and load pie weights or dry beans over the paper and pie plate. This will anchor the crust as it bakes.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pie crust and set aside.
- Combine the eggs, cream, and almond milk in a large bowl.
- Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add in the olive oil, red peppers, onions, and green peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Remove the vegetables from the skillet and add them to the bowl with the eggs and milk.
- Add in the lump crab, shrimp, and both of the cheeses. Stir to combine.
- Pour the egg and seafood filling over the pie crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Adjust the temperature to 300 degrees and bake an additional 15-30 minutes until the quiche has set. The edges should appear firm and there should be a slight jiggle in the center of the quiche. Add additional bake time if necessary.
- Allow the quiche to cool for at least 20 minutes prior to slicing. If you slice too soon it's likely to fall apart.

JULIA CHILD'S SHRIMP OR LOBSTER OR CRAB QUICHE
A delicious recipe for a shrimp quiche. It is a great quiche that isn't too eggy, I have only made it with shrimp but I can only imagine how good it is with lobster or crab. I also made this easily into mini quiches by halving the recipe. Also, the egg mixture can be made the day before and poured into the quiche shell right before baking. Also it can be served hot or cold.
