CRAB-MEAT QUICHE



Crab-Meat Quiche image

A proper quiche (also known as a tarte salée, or savory open pie) should have really good pastry and contain a soft, tender eggy custard. It should be light enough to serve as a first course, or in larger portions for a simple main course. It should be something to sing about. This is a rosy bisque-like shellfish quiche with a handful of crab meat (use shrimp or lobster if you like).

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     breakfast, dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Short-crust dough (see recipe), rolled and chilled in a 9 1/2-inch tart pan
1 small red pepper
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
Pinch cayenne
1 and 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons slivered chives
6 ounces cooked crab meat, or use chopped cooked shrimp or lobster

Steps:

  • Bake prepared dough at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Patch any small holes with leftover dough. Cool.
  • Set red pepper in the flames of a stovetop gas burner turned to high. Turn with tongs until skin is blackened, 5 to 7 minutes, then cool. Peel, remove seeds and veins, and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
  • Make the custard: in mixing bowl, beat eggs, mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne. Whisk in cream and herbs. Set aside.
  • Set tart pan on a baking sheet. Spread crab meat evenly over bottom of pastry. Arrange red pepper strips over crab meat. Beat custard once more and carefully pour into tart shell. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden and custard is set. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRAB QUICHE

Provided by Tony Kerum

Categories     Egg     Brunch     Bake     Lunch     Crab     Fall     Winter     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For pastry
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
For filling
1 (1-lb) king crab leg, thawed if frozen, or 1/2 lb lump crabmeat, picked over
4 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning such as Paul Prudhomme's
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 oz coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese (1/2 cup)
2 oz coarsely grated Swiss cheese (1/2 cup)
Special Equipment
a pastry or bench scraper; a 9-inch glass or ceramic deep-dish pie plate; pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Make pastry:
  • Blend together flour, butter, shortening, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some roughly pea-size butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 3 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until just incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn out mixture onto a work surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather dough together with scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 4-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Roll out dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin and fit into pie plate. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then fold overhang under pastry and press against rim of pie plate to reinforce edge. Decoratively crimp edge and lightly prick bottom and side of shell with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is pale golden along rim and set underneath foil, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights and bake shell until bottom and side are pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool completely in pie plate on a rack, about 20 minutes.
  • Make filling:
  • If using crab leg, hack through shell with a large heavy knife and cut meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Discard shell.
  • Whisk together eggs, cream, herbs, seafood seasoning, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then stir in cheeses and crabmeat.
  • Pour into prebaked crust and bake until filling puffs and is no longer wobbly in center when quiche is gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in pie plate on rack 15 minutes.

CHEESY CHEDDAR CRAB QUICHE



Cheesy Cheddar Crab Quiche image

Fix it and forget it for 45 minutes. I combined ideas from several recipes to create this somewhat lighter version of quiche for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Elegant, high in protein, high in flavor. Serves well as a main course or entire meal.

Provided by Stoblogger

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 1 quiche, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pie crust, unbaked
4 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon chesapeake Old Bay Seasoning
8 ounces lump crab or 8 ounces imitation crabmeat
1 dash salt
1 dash black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Thaw crab meat properly: Place frozen crab meat in a colander in the sink and run cold water over it until thawed. This method is gentler than thawing in the microwave or under hot water.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: The fresher and riper the tomatoes, the better the quiche will taste. Look for tomatoes that are plump, juicy, and have a deep red color.
  • Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and tough.
  • Let the quiche cool before slicing: This will help the quiche to hold its shape and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature: The quiche can be served warm or at room temperature. If you are serving it warm, reheat it in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.

Conclusion:

Crab and tomato quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and savory crab and tomato flavor, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this crab and tomato quiche recipe is a great option for a satisfying and flavorful meal. Give it a try today and experience the delicious combination of crab, tomatoes, and cheese in every bite!
