Seafood Quiche

Seafood Quiche Recipe








This luxuriously rich quiche is best in small bites. Be sure to squeeze the spinach dry after thawing. When baked, the quiche is still a little wet in the center, but it sets up as it cools.

Ingredients
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
1 (9-inch) deep-dish unbaked piecrust
1/2 cup lump crabmeat (about 5 ounces)
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup small peeled shrimp (about 4 ounces), uncooked
4 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Place half the cheese in piecrust. Top with crab, spinach and shrimp. Top with remaining cheese.
3. Beat eggs slightly in a large bowl. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour over seafood and cheese.
4. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 300F and bake 50 minutes longer, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serves 8.

The seafood quiche recipe appeared in our local paper recently. The dog tore part of it and I had to retrieve the missing parts of the recipe online. However, there seems to be a different in the two recipes - the printed version stated to bake at 350 for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 300 for 30 minutes. When checking online, it state to reduce heat to 300 for 50 minutes. I have not done quiche for well over 25 years, so I have no idea which time is correct - any guesses?

the recipe on line with the longer cook time is correct. We retested it due to a number of reader comments and found that indeed, it needed to cook longer. Good luck- Enjoy. Jill

i see a discrepancy between the recipe on line and the one printed in Relish magazine. The mag one says 1 cup of half and half, and the one on line says 2/3 cup. Anyway made the recipe by the magazine and had far more liquid than a 9 " deep dish crust could hold, more than a !/3 cup more, Spilled all over The flavor was delicious, but amounts need to be adjusted. Also cooking time, took much longer than called for. Will try again but hope you can adjust amounts so we don;t have to guess.

Step up this recipe with a couple pinches of tarragon and 1/2 an onion, sauteed with 1 bunch of fresh spinach. I reduced the half-n-half to 1/2 cup and lightly sprinkled the top with nutmeg before baking. This was a real hit with my lunch guests.

Made this on a girls night with Mom and sister -- so very good!! We subbed Gruyere for Swiss with excellent results.
