Crab Quiche

We like to try new foods and about a year ago I started buying imitation crab to make crab patties for us. We all enjoy crab patties, but that was about the only thing I had ever made with crab.
Earlier this week I had a pound of crab in the fridge, as I had planned on making more crab patties, but in a moment of daring creativity I decided to look up recipes for something other than crab cakes and I discovered this amazing Crab Quiche recipe – it was a huge hit with everyone here! It was easy to whip up and you can really do so much with it, seasoning it to your own preferences.

Pie Crust:
  • 2 3/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup oil (it called for vegetable, I used EVOO)
  • 1/2 cup milk
Directions: Mix flour and salt together. In another bowl and oil and milk together- do not stir, and add all at once to flour mixture. Stir until mixed  and shape into two flat balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes or more.
Roll out on floured surface and place in pie dish.
Crab Quiche
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 lb imitation crab meat
  • black pepper – to taste
  • sauteed onions, bell peppers and corn
  • other spices – to taste
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine first 4 ingredients. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into pie crust. Cook for 35-40 minutes.
Thoughts: We all loved this! I used the pie crust recipe as written above and doubled the crab quiche recipe – there was too much of the filling, but had I doubled the pie crust recipe there would have been too much crust!

There were enough scraps of pie crust dough left over that I put some in a mini muffin tin, made a thumb print “hole” in the middle and filled it with the quiche filling for the boys – they loved the kid size quiche.
