Crab Quiche Recipe

Crab Quiche RecipeA light and delicate crab quiche recipe made with fresh spinach, mushrooms, crabmeat and Swiss cheese.

This is a nice crustless quiche to serve for brunch or a late breakfast. It is also hearty enough for an evening dinner.

Flaked crabmeat gives a light delicate flavor that blends well with the Swiss cheese.

Using a shallot in place of a standard onion gives this egg recipe just enough flavor without being too overpowering. The fresh spinach adds color to this crab dish and additional nutritional value.

Ingredient List:

2 cups fresh spinach
1-8 ounce package fresh mushrooms

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 3: Tear the fresh spinach into small pieces and line the bottom of the baking dish with all of the spinach.(Save back 5-6 whole leaves for the top of the quiche.)

Step 4: Slice the mushrooms into thin slices. (Save out a handful for the top of the quiche). Place a tightly packed single layer of mushrooms over the bed of spinach.

Step 10:  Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish evenly.

Step 11:  Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, until the pie is golden brown around the edges and the eggs are set in the center.

Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
