T his really is amazing.   I always make 2 and freeze one.


Crustless Crab Quiche -      Preparation Time :0:30


8 ounces  imitation crab chunks -- chopped ( *don't use real crab)
1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese,  -- shredded
1 cup onion -- chopped  (I used frozen chopped) 
4 large eggs  (I use Eggbeaters) 
1 cup evaporated fatfree skim milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
dash paprika

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (375 degrees for glass plate).
Spray a 9" pie plate with non-stick spray.

Combine chopped crab, onion and cheese. Press into pie plate.  (I just dump them in pie plate, combine in there & save a dirty bowl).


Beat together remaining ingredients except paprika and pour over the crab.


Sprinkle with paprika.

Bake 30 minutes.

Hi Susan:

Why can't real crab be used?

Susan,

Sounds like a great recipe and I'm going to try it. When you make the 2nd quiche, do you freeze it uncooked? If not, when you defrost the quiche, how long do you bake it?

Thanks,

Dina

Susan --

Doesn't the fake crab have sugar added? Do you know of a brand that doesn't?

thanks :-)

Not sure which brand I use, just check the ingredients.

Thnaks -- I had stopped buying the imitation crab years ago b.c I thought there were added sugars. I'll check the labels next time I'm in the store. Looking for some Mother's day brunch ideas and this sounds yummy!

fyi I noticed that each brand was different as far as sugars. I was able to find one as low as 3g (others were as high as 8), but also noticed it has added wheat and corn starches. How do we know if it's enough to be a problem?
