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).

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.

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:

  • 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.
