Okay, the husband isn't known for his cooking skills, but he saw this recipe in the newspaper and handed to me and said this sounds good, "why don't you make the crab quickie?" Quickie??? It says "quiche, dear, as in real men don't eat quiche? Read more " He didn't get it. But we love the crab quickie when we have the funds. See less
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie dough, prebaked, blind shopping list
- 8 ounces of lump crab meat, refrigerator pack, drained, picked over shopping list
- 1/2 cup of grated gruyere cheese shopping list
- 1/3 cup of minced shallots shopping list
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley shopping list
- 1 tablespoon of fine dry sherry shopping list
- 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon (two teaspoons of fresh) shopping list
- 3 large eggs slightly beaten shopping list
- 1 cup of half and half shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg (4 passes on rasp with whole nutmeg) shopping list
How to make it
- Bake pie shell at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, don't over brown. Cool.
- Sprinkle cheese over bottom of pie shell.
- Toss crab very lightly with onion, parsley, Sherry and tarragon.
- Layer over the cheese.
- Beat eggs, mix with half and half, add salt and nutmeg.
- Pour over crab mixture very gently.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 55 minutes. (put pie pan on cookie sheet in case of spillover. I find it easier to put the pie on the cookie sheet and just fill with the custard mix while it is on the oven rack and slide it back into the oven carefully.)
- Let rest 10 mintues before cutting and serving.
