CRAB-MEAT QUICHE
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).

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:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen crab meat.
- Don't overcook the quiche. A quiche is done when the center is just set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.
- Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. Quiche is best enjoyed when it is freshly made, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
The crab quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover crab meat, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. The quiche can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
