Crab and Swiss Quiche

This has been a regular dinner for us since 2002. I found it on AllRecipes.com where it was submitted by Debra Slaughter. It only takes 5 minutes to put together and then about 50 minutes in the oven. Anyone can do it! There are so many possible variations including using real crab or different cheeses. I have added fresh chives or green onions and/or fresh or dried dill. I actually added in 5 oz. of thawed chopped frozen spinach and he ate it and said he didn’t even taste the spinach!! This dish is also great warmed up for leftovers.

2 eggs lightly beaten
½ c. milk
½ c. mayonnaise
1 tsp. cornstarch
8 oz. imitation crab
1 ½ c. shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust (I use the pre-made refrigerated kind)

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, milk, mayonnaise and cornstarch.
  3. Mix in the imitation crab and Swiss cheese and pour into pie shell.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until it’s set in the middle or very close to being set if you can because it will continue to cook a little after you take it out.
  5. Let it rest 10-15 minutes before slicing if you have the time. The pieces will come out cleaner and….well, it won’t be so HOT!

    It sounds interesting. Of course, I can't try it because the crab can kill me...

    That sounds great! I like scrambled eggs with crabmeat in them! The quiche would be yummy. Of course, I can't have it... :)
