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.

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • pie crust1

    unbaked

  • large eggs4

    beaten

  • cheddar cheese3⁄4 cup

    shredded

  • half-and-half cream1 cup
  • chesapeake Old Bay Seasoning1⁄2 teaspoon
  • lump crab or imitation crabmeat8 ounces
  • salt1 dash
  • black pepper1 dash

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust, if using frozen, thaw completely on counter before filling.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 350°.

  3. 3

    Beat the eggs, stir in the shredded cheese, half-n-half, Old Bay seasoning, and shredded crab meat.

  4. 4

    Old Bay Seasoning contains both salt and pepper so you may not need to add additional salt or pepper. I don't.

  5. 5

    Pour into unbaked pie shell.

  6. 6

    Place on center oven rack for 35 minutes. Cover just the edges of crust with foil if they are browning too quickly.

  7. 7

    Check center of quiche, if jiggly, bake 10 more minutes or until center is done to your preference.

  8. 8

    Let stand for 5 minutes, serve hot with tomato slices or salad.
