CHEESY CHEDDAR CRAB QUICHE
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.

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.
CHEDDAR CRAB QUICHE
For a completely vegetarian quiche, leave the crab out. I used this recipe for a friend that was having some problems with finding a lower fat recipe, using reduced fat cheese and liquid egg substitute. Obviously we can add the fat back in if you like!

- Seal, label and freeze up to two months.
- Do not thaw before reheating.
- Unwrap and bake in a 375°F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
- Shred the Cheddar cheese yourself for a smoother texture. Pre-shredded cheese can be dry and crumbly.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make the quiche tough.
- Bake the quiche until the center is just set. Overbaking can make the quiche dry.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
