CRUSTLESS CRAB QUICHE



Crustless Crab Quiche image

This is a lowfat, delicious quiche! I am always asked for this recipe (I serve often at brunches). Can be made ahead & baked next day, and/or frozen. Leftovers are wonderful when warmed in microwave and placed on toasted english muffin. My 2 year-old loves it too. NOTE: Do not use real crab meat; it will not come out the same.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The quiche is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the quiche tough and dry.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will allow the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.

Conclusion:

Crustless crab quiche is a delicious, elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, crustless crab quiche is sure to be a hit.
