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.

CRUSTLESS CRAB QUICHE

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs (I use egg substitute)
1/2 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/2 low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups gruyere cheese, grated
1 (13 ounce) can crabmeat, drained
Tabasco sauce, to taste (I use 3-4 "shots")
3 green onions, chopped

  • Grate the Gruyere cheese, set aside.
  • Chop the green onions; set aside.

  • In a small mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, mayonnaise, cornstarch and Tabasco sauce. Mix using a whisk until smooth.

Tips:

  • Make sure the crab meat is fresh and flaky. If using canned crab meat, be sure to drain it well and remove any shells or cartilage.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to add flavor and texture to the quiche. A good combination is a sharp cheddar, a creamy brie, and a nutty Parmesan.
  • If you don't have a quiche pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the phyllo dough so that it doesn't hang over the sides of the pan.
  • To prevent the quiche from browning too much, cover it with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

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