Crab Quiche


I make this recipe a little differently each time but it seems to come out quite nicely every time so don't worry too much about being obsessive about the quantities or ingredients.

1 pie crust, prebaked

1 bunch green onions, chopped
8 to 12 oz goat cheese
1/2 pound crab meat, shrimp, or prawn, or mixture thereof
6 eggs
1 cup whipping cream
white pepper
cayenne
celery salt
8 oz grated swiss cheese like Gruyere or Emmentaler
grated nutmeg

Saute onions and add to bottom of baked pie crust.

Break up goat cheese and seafood and mix. Add to pie crust.
Whisk eggs with cream and spices to taste. Pour over seafood mixture.
Top with swiss cheese.
Grate nutmeg lightly over top.

Bake 35 minutes at 350ยบ. Let rest 15 to 20 minutes. This quiche takes longer to set so it is better to let it rest longer if you want it to serve nicely.
